POP QUIZ: kittens

[BIG IRON]

Our stray is having kittens right now. She just had #4 and my wife said it is the runt and that the runt is always born last. Before I start shooting holes in this theory I want to make sure that I am right that that is not true. What's the real deal?

The runt is not ALWAYS born last, and the mother will sometimes eat the runt and any sick kittens.

That is what I was thinking.
