how many kittens does a female cat normally give birth to at a time?
In the span of a year, a female cat can give birth to a staggering 5 litters of kittens. On the low side, she could give birth to just one kitten, and at the opposite end of the spectrum, she could also give birth to 6 at a time. The size of the litter typically depends on the mother cat's experience and age. Young first-time mother cats typically have smaller litters than more seasoned queens.
