a cat is pregnant for about 2 1/2 months. You notice when a cat is pregnant when her belly starts bulging. You know when the cat is ready to give birth when she is acting weird, and tries finding a birthing place.

∙ 11y agoCats can reach reproductive maturity and go into heat at 5-7 months. However, letting a young and not yet mature cat breed comes with increased risk for both mother and litter, so letting such a young cat become pregnant is not ideal at all. 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 far cheaper and safer to spay female kittens before they reach reproductive age.

Can a cat get a kitten pregnant?
Most female and male cats reach sexual maturity at around 6 months of age, although instances of much earlier pregnancies have been recorded. At 6 months, a cat is still very much a kitten and is still developing mentally and physically. It is not ideal at all for a kitten to have kittens. A cat under a year old is considered a kitten as it is still growing and developing. If a kitten becomes pregnant at such a young age, she has to share all her energies with growing and developing herself and her unborn litter. This divide in bodily resources increase the risk of problems or fatalities for both the mother and the kittens. For this reason, kittens should be spayed and neutered before 6 months old.
When can a female cat get pregnant?
Yes. While the average age is 6 months, some kittens reach sexual maturity as early as 4 months old. Because of this, it is ideal that a kitten is spayed before this age to limit the risk of unwanted pregnancy. Pregnancy in a kitten so young has a high risk of complications with the pregnancy and birth, which could ultimately harm or become fatal for the mother or the kittens.
How old must a cat be before getting pregnant?
A cat can first come in to season from the age of 6 months onwards, so the answer is 6 months old for first pregnancy. Some kittens start their first season as early as 4 months. However, cats are still very much kittens at this age. They are still growing and developing themselves, so letting a 6 month old kitten become pregnant can be incredibly dangerous, risking the lives of the mother and the unborn kittens. It is best to spay kittens before they reach 6 months old to stop them having any unwanted litters.
