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.
