Normally, in humans anyway, conjoined twins must be identical twins, and therefore must be the same sex (and color, for that matter). Identical twins happen when a fertilized egg splits into two separate embryos; conjoined twins happen when this process only goes part-way. So these kittens are either something different and even weirder, or a hoax...
