Watson here, and until last year I had no idea that there was a Kitten Season. It turns out that Kitten Season refers to a period of time when female cats are giving birth to litters. It typically lasts between the months of April and October; however, it can happen year-round. Female cats usually have two litters a year though in colder areas only one. Many factors contribute to this yearly phenomenon. Longer days, warmer weather, and access to food are the perfect recipe for kittens.

It begins when the weather gets warmer and coincides with the time unaltered female cats are in heat. There are only certain periods of the year when cats are in heat and that is dependent on the weather. When a female is in heat, she is ready to meet a mate and conceive kittens.
