Yes, it is not impossible for a cat to become pregnant at five months old. Most kittens reach sexual maturity around six months old. Due to this, it is best to spay a kitten around this time, especially if she has her first season at such a young age, as she is just a kitten herself. It would be incredibly dangerous (and possibly fatal) for her and any unborn kittens if she were allowed to get pregnant.

∙ 11y agoYes, kittens cat get pregnant. Kittens can reach reproductive maturity and can breed at 5-7 months. However, letting a young and not yet mature cat breed comes with increased risk for both mother and litter. A kitten is still developing mentally and physically, and there is a high risk of health complications with the mother and the kittens. It is often reccomended that kittens are spayed and neutered before 6 months of age.

∙ 11y agoMost kittens reach reproductive maturity around 6 months old, so are able to reproduce around this age. So yes, a kitten can indeed get pregnant at 6 months old.
However, letting a young and not yet mature (a cat is considered adult at 1 year old) cat breed comes with increased risk for both mother and litter. A kitten is still developing mentally and physically, and there is a high risk that there are complications with the birth, she may just not be ready to look after the kittens once they are born, or in some extreme cases, the kittens or mother may not survive. The possible health problems and the costs involved are often not worth the risk. It is cheaper and far safer for a kitten to be spayed before she reaches reproductive age.

What age can a kitten get pregnant?
A kitten can get pregnant the very first time she goes into heat, at 5-6 months is what I've always been told by my vets. If you don't want her to get pregnant, you should definitely get her spayed when she's old enough. Even if she's a strictly indoor cat, she can still (and probably will) escape outside when she goes into heat.
What if your 9 month old kitten is pregnant what could happen?
At 9 months old, it is still a kitten. Kittens are still growing and developing a great deal at this age, and do not reach adulthood until after 1 year old. Just because kittens reach sexual maturity at 5-6 months, doesn't mean it is fine for them to have kittens. However, at this age, the cat is still very much a kitten and pregnancies from cats that young rarely produce a healthy litter of kittens, and poses a risk for the young cats' (and litter) health and well-being.
