How many kittens can a cat have?

I'm new to this. My cat is very pregnant. I had an appointment to have her spayed a few months ago, then she disappeared. She came home 2 weeks ago, and i noticed she was pregnant. Now i have her inside my laundry room with several blankets. She's breathing very fast and just laying around, so i assume she's fixing to have them. How many kittens does the average cat have? She is VERY big.

My Snowshoe just had a litter of 4 kittens. This was her first pregnancy. The average litter size is 4 kittens. She is probably ready to give birth! Mimi was very vocal in her first stage. Mimi had a big belly to, her kittens are huge! Let us know how everthing goes!

I think generally, 4 - 6.

My kitty was HUGE, and just had three. They are really really big kittens though. Even the one that i think is a runt other people think is big

Well, apparently my little Bailey had 10 kittens. That's what they told me at the Humane Society after I adopted her.

I keep telling her that those days are over, she can just eat, sleep and play for the rest of her life.

wow 10 kittens!! I have never actually seen a cat have more then 4.
