Usually a cats first season is somewhere between 4 and 10 months old with average age around six months. Siamese and Burmese cats are quite precocious and will often have their first season at 4 months of age.
Mother cats begin to gradually wean kittens three weeks to a month after birth. The kittens begin to eat solid food and are usually fully weaned after six to eight weeks. Kittens also begin to develop their hunting abilities at this age; feral mothers begin bringing live prey to their kittens around this time.
