However, it's important to note that this is just an average. Litter sizes can vary greatly depending on factors like:
* Breed: Some breeds are known for having larger litters than others.
* Age of the mother cat: Younger cats tend to have smaller litters than older cats.
* Overall health of the mother cat: A healthy mother cat is more likely to have a larger litter.
* Environmental factors: Stress, nutrition, and access to resources can all affect litter size.
It's not uncommon for cats to have litters ranging from 1 to 10 kittens, though litters larger than 8 kittens are less common.
