Fuzzypelt and Robinwing + kits

Fuzzypelt and Robinwing with their kits (confirmed by authors) - Dustkit (Dustpelt) and Ravenkit (Ravenpaw)

I was absolutely shocked when I read that Dustpelt and Ravenpaw were littermates.

Hopefully someone who reads this can figure this out. Robinwing gave birth to Fuzzypelt's kits - Frostfur and Brindleface - in Bluestar's Prophecy. It was mentioned that they were not her first litter of kits. Later, Robinwing had Dustpelt and Ravenpaw with Fuzzypelt (confirmed by authors). Now, Longtail is Robinwing's son with Patchpelt (confirmed by authors). Longtail is deffinately older than Dustpelt and Ravenpaw because they were young apprentices when Into the Wild starts and Longtail had already been made a warrior. Robinwing could have had Longtail with Patchpelt between her two litters with Fuzzypelt, but that doesn't make much sence, especially since there are no known disputes between the two. Longtail is not mentioned in Bluestar's Prophecy (to my knowledge), but he had to have been alive at some point in the book, given that Dustpelt is an apprentice at the end of the book, and Longtail is older than Dustpelt. This leads me to my question - is Longtail from Robinwing's first litter/the litter before Frostfur and Brindleface? Yes, that would mean that he would have been very old for a wild cat when he died. However, he would not have been impossibly old because Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Ravenpaw, and Graystripe are approximately eight years old at the end of The Last Hope, and they were all born in Bluestar's Prophecy. I would love to hear any information from an official Warriors source (doesn't have to be from a book) that might help answer my question.
