How many kittens do cats usually give birth to in their first litter?

Pet Question

Cats generally give birth to 1-8 babies in their first litter, and most give birth to 3-6 babies. The number of a cat's first litter is related to the size of the female cat. If the female cat is larger and has a stronger body, the number of fetuses will generally be relatively larger. In addition, the fertilization rate is also an important factor affecting the number of fetuses. If the physical fitness of the male and female cats is relatively good, the fertilization rate will be higher, so the number of fetuses will be relatively larger.

If you want to determine the number of fetuses in your cat, you can do this on the 30th to 40th day after the cat is pregnant. Take the cat to the pet hospital for a B-ultrasound examination. While determining the number of fetuses, you can also find out whether the development of the fetus is normal.
