Can a cat have only one baby?

Yes, it's possible for a cat to have only one baby, which is called a singleton litter. While most cats have litters of multiple kittens, it's not uncommon for a cat to have just one.

Here are some reasons why a cat might have a singleton litter:

* Age: First-time mothers and older cats are more likely to have smaller litters, including singletons.

* Breed: Certain breeds, like Persians and Siamese, tend to have smaller litters.

* Health: Some cats may have health issues that affect their ability to carry multiple fetuses.

* Stress: Stressful environments or conditions can also contribute to smaller litters.

It's important to note that a singleton litter isn't necessarily a sign of anything wrong. It's just a natural variation in feline reproduction.
