Well, cats can go into heat at 5-7 months. A cat becoming pregnant at this age is incredibly dangerous, as it is still a growing and developing kitten. The risk of the mother and kittens not surviving is quite high, which is one of the reasons it is ideal to spay her before she has her first heat.
My cat, Timbit, got pregnant at 7 months and gave birth when she was 9 months. This is really too young for a cat to give birth. My vet said it is like a teen pregnancy. She had 3 kittens, but only one survived. Since she was so young, one died at birth, and one was stuck so the vet had to take it out. It was already dead inside her. Cats are usually considered "adults" at one year of age, as they have stopped growing and developing, which is the safest earliest age for a cat to become pregnant.

∙ 6y agoA cat can get pregnant as early as 5 1/2 months. Please consider spaying your cat prior to that age if you are not a breeder. There are plenty of stray cats and kittens that need homes. 3 million adoptable cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters each year.
A female cat must be 6 months or older to develop its hormones and therefore to be able to have kittens. However, at 6 months old, the cat is still a kitten herself, so letting her breed will severely endanger her and the unborn kittens lives, as both mother and litter need a lot of energy to grow and develop in a healthy manner.
A cat can produce young from six months of age Get you cat neutered, there are too many unwanted animals in the world
Well my kitten was born in September 2009 and she was pregnant in March 2010, so kittens can be less than 6 months old before they are pregnant, but this puts a huge risk on both the kitten and the unborn babies. Most kittens become sexually mature around six months of age, but this does not mean they should become pregnant.
Cats reach adulthood at around a year and a half. They have stopped growing and developing mentally for the most part, so can carry a litter of kittens. However, it is recommended to spay and neuter pet cats before they reach six months old to prevent unwanted pregnancies, spraying (females spray too), and behaviour changes.
Female domestic cats typically begin estrus (become sexually active) at around 6 to 9 months old, and very rarely as early as 20 weeks (4 1/2 months). While they "can" become pregnant at younger than a year old, having kittens at too young an age can be very dangerous to the mother and her unborn litter. Cats reach full adulthood between 12 and 20 months.
I would say right around one is a good age!
