How long is the gestation period for a cat?

shantaram

Cat, domestic Reproduction Domestic cats reach reproductive age between 7 and 12 months. A breeding female (called a queen) can be in heat, or estrus, as many as five times a year. During these periods, which last about five days, the cat 'calls,' or caterwauls, intermittently. The gestation period for cats averages 63 to 65 days, and birth usually lasts about two hours. The birth is often called kittening, and the kittens are called a litter. The average litter numbers four; however, the Abyssinian usually has fewer, the Siamese more. ---refer Encyclopaedia Britannica--- http://www.pet-yard.com/cat-reproduction.php [Link added Feb. 20, 2008 by Zbeckabee] Jun 18 00, 3:02 AM
