I think it depends on the cat. I don’t think there is a standard litter for every cat.

Okay, I had a cat give birth to 7 kittens and it was her first time too. She started with three outside in the grass and continued for about 3 hours until they were all born.
Anyway, every birth is differnt though. Just a human birth, some might take 1 hour, others 36 hours. My suggestion is that if it takes more than 10 hours, go seek your vet's help. One of the kittens might be stuck or dead.

Usually 2-8 kittens. The time between can vary. My cat gave birth a few days ago to 2 kittens. First one was born at 6PM and the other one at 7:45PM.

It all depends on the cat. I've had about 3 cats have kittens, 2 had kittens twice. One only had 2, one had abuoot 4 and 2 had MANY. It all depends on the cat.

Number depends some on the mother (how many eggs she makes) and also on the number of fathers (one litter can have 2 or 3 fathers). As far as labour... think that depends. Have some human friends who were in labour a few hours and some for days... imagine it is the same for kitties.

it depends on what breed she is my cat had two litter both of them had 5 kittens and my cousin cat had 7 kittens but if your cat has more than 5 then help feed them because its hard for her to keep up go to the pet store and by baby bottles and baby milk be careful when you hold them cause they are so tiny don't feed them a lot my cousin cat lost 6 of them 1 survive cause i took care of it like a little baby and you got to watch make sure she doest lay on them like my cousin cat did and keep them worm good luck and it takes sometime 30 minutes to 2 hours befor ethe next one is born

4-10 And about 15-30 mins apart Set aside several hours to assist your cat if need be.. she will probably want you right there..
My sister-in-laws cat wanted to be held by her - in the closet.. so I went to her home and took care of the kids... lol
