How many kittens are in a cat’s first litter?

A cat’s first litter is usually 2 to 6 kittens. Because cats differ in constitution and the stud’s sperm quality also matters, the count is hard to predict, but most first litters are small: over 60 percent have 2 to 4, a few have just one, and some reach 6 to 8. To confirm the number, take the cat for an ultrasound or X-ray at 30 to 40 days of pregnancy to determine the exact count and fetal development.
