How many kittens can a cat give birth to?

How many kittns do you think a cat can give birth to?I have a cat and it is a female so I want to know how many kittens it can have.

depends on a veriety of factors you could have from1 to up to about 6 or 7

I had a friend years ago who's cat had 12 kitties. 12 is really odd but it can happen. It's not good for a mama to have so many though because she only has so many nipples and some of them end up dying due to starving.

You should get your kitty spayed, and forget about producing more kitties...there are millions upon MILLIONS of kitten killed...every year, because there are so many. Give your kitty a break, and give the kittens that haven't been conceived, yet, a break!
The very person who might have taken one of yours, could save a life on death row at the shelter.

average I'd say is probably 5 or 6. My cat had 5

the average is about 5, my cat gave birth 4 weeks ago and she had 5 although they can have between 1 and 7.good luck

I took in a stray cat a few years ago that happened to be pregnant. She is a fairly small cat, and she had 5 kittens, but she smothered one... she just layed on it.

But I agree with Phrannie, get your cat spayed. There is already an overpopulation of cats and so many cats that cannot find homes... why would you want to purposely produce more? If it is because you want kittens for yourself to bring up and give a good home to, you could go to your local shelter and get kittens... all shelters have plenty of cats!
