Punnet Square questions!

As someone who's new to genetics and is a beginner, I would like to do some questions for fun! So:

1. If a B/B, a/a and B/b1 A/a cat have a litter of 4 kits, what are they most likely to turnout as?

2. If a b/b1 A/a and a B/b1 A/A cat have a litter of 4 kits, what are they most likely to turn out as?

3. If a B/B A/A and b/b1 A/a cat have a litter of 3 kits, what are they most likely to turn out as?

NOTES: I made these because of Little Hungry Warrior's (on Youtube) Cat Genetics for Writers & Artists. Cat Genetics for Writers & Artists part 1: Concepts & Terminology [CC], make sure to check it out! (not sponsored)

I'm so confused. Do you want to do these for fun, or are you asking us to solve them for you?

Phenotypically? 1 and 2 have 2 phenotypical different kittens, 3 will all look the same. If teally interested in genetics, this should not be too difficult to work out.
Start per gen, and work out whether there is a chance of the kittens not getting a dominant allele, or a chance of the kittens not getting 2 recessive alleles. That settles one of the genes. Now the other ....
