Cats only live up to 22 to 25 years if in good health and cared for inside. They probably stop going into heat between ages 18 to 20. Given that cats can get pregnant two to three times a year, with 1 to 10 kittens per litter, you can see how one unspayed female contributes to cat overpopulation.

A cat can breed at about any age starting at 6 months, but on average it is best for a cat to stop breeding at 6-9 years of age. It also depends on the health of the cat.

They at least have to be 14 months of age, as by this age most cats have stopped growing and developing and are fully adult cats.

So a year and two months.

They don't unless they are sterilized. They may go into heat less frequently as they get older but cats are known to still go into heat at 15 years old

How old does a cat have to be to get pregnant safely?

Female cats can get pregnant by three months old, however it would be a good idea to let your cat develop fully as being pregnant will upset the cat's hormones. I would recommend waiting until your cat is nine months to a year old.


What age do cats mate at?

How old do cats live up to in small and big?

Cats live in a wide range of times, but the most simple way to explain this (note: it may be different depending on the on the specific breed) the larger the cat the less years it will live. The average tabby "mut" cat will live 9 to 15 years. The Maine Coon (a large breed) lives an average of 7, although i have seen Maine Coons live up to 12, maybe older.

It has been my experience, that it is best to wait until your dog is fully mature before mating. At least 1 year of age. They are better able to carry the pregnancy, safely deliver and care for their puppies at over 1 year old.
