NONE! Please spay your cat! There are way too many kittens that are put to sleep in shelters each year!

Actually, if your thinking PHYSICALLY, which you probably are, a cat should only have one litter a year because it takes a while for her body to recover enough to have another litter. Although she can probably have two litters without hurting herself too much.

Can the crystal type of cat litter stain a cat's feet blue?

How many kittens can a cat have in a lifetime?

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.
