Hi
Al cats become sexually active from around four or five months old, so at nine months old your cat should be able to become pregnant(she should have begun to go into heat http://www.our-happy-cat.com/cat-in-heat.html)

However it is recommended for the health of both the female and the kittens that you wait until at least a year. this ensures that the cat is fully grown and strong enough to have a healthy litter.
