The average is 3-5 but sometimes they have just 1 and sometimes they have 9. The chance of having stillborn kittens inrease as the number of kittens in a litter increase because there isn't enough room.

She-cats mostly have 3-4 kittens, but can have up to 8 or 9 kittens. They can go down to at least 1 or 2 kittens, but that is very rare.

How many kittens are in a litter?

The number of kittens in a litter varies from cat to cat and even from litter to litter. It is most common for cats to have three to six kittens per litter.


How many kittens are usually in the first litter?

Usually the number of kittens in a litter is about 5. You really needs to research the breed to be sure. If you actually meant a liter/litre, there doesn't seem to be any readily available information on the volume of an average kitten. Briefly submerging a large enough sample of kittens in water, measuring how much water they displaced, and then working out a per-kitten average would be the easiest way to measure the volume of an average kitten, and from there it could be worked out how many average kittens are in a litre.

How many kittens can a cat have in a lifetime?

The number of kittens a female cat can have in her lifetime depends upon climate and daylight hours, which is how her heat cycle is determined. Whether she is an indoor cat, a cat used for breeding, or an outdoor feral cat, will also affect the number of kittens she can have, as the mortality rate for outdoor kittens is about 75%. The average gestation period for a cat is 63 days, so theoretically she could have 3 litters a year, with an average litter being 4 to 6 kittens. Realistically, however, it is more likely that she would have one to two litters a year with the ability to produce approximately 200 kittens in her lifetime if she is not spayed.

How do you have 16foopet babies on foopets?

The average litter on FooPets ranges from four to seven in number. Anything more than seven is considered a "glitched litter". Having a litter of 16 kittens or puppies is rare, and not something you can manually plan. How many puppies or kittens that are born in a litter is derived by a random program, that assigns a random litter amount to litters born.
