Breeding cats from the same litter is inbreeding, which is generally not advised because the offspring easily inherit genetic diseases, often have health problems, and shorter lives. If you keep a male and female from the same litter, separate them during heat to prevent mating.
If you do not have much time to supervise, consider having one of them neutered at a veterinary hospital.
