How old does the the mother cat have to be to get pregnant?

How many years?
Answers:
We had a kitten get pregnant before we could get her spayed - she was five months old only! She had healthy kittens and was an amazingly good mom, though.
i think its 9 mounths but I wouldn't try to breed them till 1.5-2 years at least!
i'm not really sure, but i have a kitten that isn't even over 1 and a half years, and it had 5 kittens just a couple weeks ago, if that helps you any.
That depends on the cat. Whenever she goes into heat she is capable of getting pregnant. I had a cat who started estrus at 5 months old. I didn't think she was old enough to be in heat so I checked with my veterinarian and was told that yes it is possible. I had to make sure she didn't get out of the house and get pregnant. I took her to get spayed as soon as she was out of heat.
She can get pregnant when she is in heat which is starts at about 5 months. It is best to get her spayed.
A female cat may be capable of becoming pregnant as early as 4 to 6 months of age, though that is much too young to breed. I think most breeders don't breed their cats until they're 2 years old.

Unless your cat is a purebred cat that you are planning to show, I would highly recommend getting her spayed at 4 months of age, to prevent unwanted pregnancy and to prevent uterine infections or uterine cancer, and to greatly decrease her chance of breast cancer.

about over 2 years old, our cat got pregnant without us wanting her to be, and she was about only one and she was in pretty bad condition after giving birth .. :|
hope that helps:)
I think its 2 when they become adults
get her spayed about 5-6 months and after 3 months keep a good eye on her so she doesn't get out or anything because a cat can start to go into heat as early as 3-4 months.
Definitely get your cat spayed before she is 6 months old or she will get pregnant.
