whenever it is in heat it can get pregnant...(anywhere between 6 months to a year will be when they go into heat for the first time)

It's possible for it to mate from 6 months of age, although this is unlikely and also not good for the cat at all.
Gestation is between 8 and 9 weeks so the earliest a cat is likely to physically have the kittens would be 8 months. As I said though this is not good for the cat, they are not really mature enough at this age to do it.

only 6 months old they are really not old enough but are physically able to start having kittens. So if you don't want kittens spay her before 6 months old. An adult cat one year old can already have 2 litters by then. Don't breed a cat before one year old as they need time to grow first. Being a mother before that time can cause birth defects. 63 days is the norm for carrying a litter.

Scientifically, after it has gone into heat...but usually around 10 months to 1 year old. I would suggest not allowing your cat to get pregnant the first time it goes into heat though. It is best to wait until at least the 2nd or 3rd time.

I think they are capable of having kittens from about 6months. Probably be more responsible to wait until a cat was older before allowing it to breed though.

anything from 6 months to a year, it all depends on when they hit puberty, just like humans.
although if you intend on breeding your cat, litters produced while the kitten is under a year tend not to be as large or as healthy as when you wait. you could also be faced with more pregnancy and birth problems when you have a litter too early.

They can have kittens after they are 9 months old, as that is when they are classed a mature.

around 6 months of so, but rarely earlier and some breeds of cat up to 10 months.

I had a cat who had kittens at 4 months...7 of them! The vet said it was unusual to have babies that young....Just watch for signs that she is in heat....Usually overly affectionate..a mad desire to get outside...climbing curtains...sensitive if you touch anywhere near her butt...a low yowling...and sometimes you may notice blood
