How many kittens are usually in a litter?

Question

I think that my cat might be pregnant, her nipples are raised, and her belly seems to be growing, I don't now if she has even gone into her first heat or not, I thought that she would bleed like my dog does, but I have heard that isn't the case with cats.

Answer 1

Litter size varies considerably. Four to five is the average domestic litter size. The record is held by a four-year-old Burmese named Tarawood Antigone who, after breeding with a half-Siamese, produced a litter of 19 kittens, 15 of which survived. Another impressive litter was born to a Persian female named Bluebell, who gave birth to 14 kittens, all of which survived.

Answer 2

I'd say 4 to 6 babies is normal. I just had babies today. She had 4. I told her that she could only have 3, but she didn't listen. I've seen many cats have kittens and the minimum that I've seen is four. That's a typical number, but I've seen a few have six.

In my personal experience they've never had more than six, but it does happen. my dog had 9 twice.

Answer 3

Four to six is the usual range, but more, less, or even only one isn't impossible. A couple of days ago on The Daily Kitten I saw a photo of a litter of NINE six-week-old Siamese furbabies!! Awwww ... :-)

Answer 4

Litters range from 3 to 5 on average. But sometimes they have more, and sometimes less. You never really know until it happens!

Answer 5

Maybe 5 Or 6. Thats About It I Think.

Answer 6

cats are cleaning machines you probably wouldn't notice anything other than behavior.They crouch down and raise their rear end and purr differently.ready to mate.
4 is the usual number.

Answer 7

it ranges, but probably up to 7ish, out of my two litters I got 6 and 4 kittens
