- Well, I won't get drawn into the lifestyle issue and I don't quite remember
- what the gestation period is for cats. I do seem to remember from somewhere
- that a younger cat or first litter will usually result in smaller litters.
-
- If you were going to get her spayed anyway, I strongly suggest you go
- ahead and do that soon. That will remove the kitten question and leave room
- for another kitty in your life, without bringing new, unwanted kittens
- into the world.
