How can you tell how many kittens a cat can produce in a litter?
Here everything depends on many factors. It is necessary to take into account the age of the animal, the breed, the conditions of keeping.
Poor nutrition, lack of warm shelter, constant stress will only have a negative effect.
But we shouldn’t forget that the number of kittens in the future also depends on the cat.
It is believed that young cats can give birth to one to three kittens during their first pregnancy. The same situation applies to older pets. In the latter case, it is better not to allow the birth at all, otherwise there is a risk of health problems.
Pedigree cats give birth to one to three kittens. Very rarely they can give birth to, for example, six.
As for yard or mongrel animals that are not giving birth for the first time, they often produce large litters of more than three kittens.
Some yard cats are capable of giving birth to 10 babies or more.
It is also worth noting that the peak of fertility occurs around the second or third year of a cat's life.
