Best Answer

Kittens should NEVER have children... Just like people.., if the kitten is not mature.., birth defects can become a factor... Also intelligence will be harmed... Cats should reproduce at around 2 - 4 years of age... This would be the equivilent to 25 - 42 in human years... Although cats can become reproductive at the mere age of 6 months of age (9 years old in human years).

This is a vet question, not a grooming question, but having had cats and kittens for years I would say no, that gene probably has not kicked in yet. But I would call my vet to be sure.

6-9 months of age, which is why it is important to neuter them before reaching 6 months old.

females can mate at the age of six months, but it might not come in handy if she's pregnant, then.

About 6 months, if you don't want your male cat to mate then have him/her treated at the vet and ask the vet to do it for you..

Male cats reach sexual maturity at about six months old; females first come into heat at about one year old.
