A female cat can get pregnant as early as 4 to 6 months old, which is when she reaches sexual maturity and enters her first heat cycle. This early ability to become pregnant is why spaying cats before this age is often recommended to prevent unwanted litters. Cats can continue to get pregnant throughout their reproductive years, with pregnancy possible until around 10 years old, though breeding is usually recommended to stop by 6 or 7 years due to health risks in older cats.
