Question

How old is a female cat before she can become pregnant?

Answer 1

A female cat can become pregnant as early as 4 months of age, although it is generally recommended to wait until she is at least 6 months old. It is important for female cats to be in good health before breeding, so it is best to wait until she has reached full maturity.

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.
