Question

How old do cats have to be to get pregnant?

Answer 1

Cats typically reach sexual maturity at around 6 months of age, although it is possible for cats to become pregnant as early as 4 months of age. It is important to note that cats should not be bred until they are at least 1 year old, as kittens born to very young cats may have health problems.

Answer 2

Cats can reach sexual maturity and get pregnant at just four months of age (kittens can have kittens!). Cats are seasonal breeders and only enter their reproductive cycle at a certain time of year. This generally begins in spring as daylight starts to lengthen, and stops in late Autumn when daylight is reduced.
