Heat cycles can start as early as the fourth or fifth month of a kitten's life, but usually start around six months. Heat cycles will continue all her life until you spay her. A cat is usually in heat for a week or two, and will start again every two to three weeks.

Is it better to let a female cat have her first litter of kittens or not?

It is not. A cat will never miss the experience of "motherhood". In fact, spaying a cat prior to it going into heat the first time is easier on the cat and less expensive to you. It's a bigger surgery once she's been in heat. In addition, spaying a cat before she goes into heat the first time can keep her from developing the urges to spray, mark her territory, and become aggressive. Yes, female cats do spray.
