It is better to breed a mother cat again 6 months after birth. After delivery she is very weak with low resistance; for her health, waiting 6 months before breeding aids recovery, lowers the miscarriage rate, and produces healthier kittens.
Some mother cats may go into heat 1 month after birth, but re-breeding shortly after delivery greatly harms her, so the owner should be cautious.
