It is fascinating how they know that they need to practice being wild animals, going for the jugular. When our dear cat had her first litter, we disposed of all but one kitten thinking (wrongly) that it would be hard to find homes for them. She played very rough with him, knowing that such practice was necessary. Subsequent litters we left intact, and Mother stayed out of it.
We're going to need a tortoiseshell-and-white (and therefore female) kitten soon. Let us know if you see one. Oliver's brindle sister looks promising.

Maggie, my striped tabby foundling, is most interested in their conversation...
Oh, Fishwife, wonderful!

Very nice kittens, I do like the ginger one!
How wonderful! I loved it when Mom came in.
