Is it unhealthy for an unspayed female cat to never have kittens?

Question

Is it wrong to keep a female cat a virgin forever? My indoor cat never went out of the apartment except to the vet and she is the only pet so she gets terrified from going outside and she wouldn't like other pets, she is not spayed and i dont want her to get pregnant, is this bad for her? Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 8 months old

No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with her never having a litter. Health risks to her not being spayed, such as mammary masses and pyometra (uterine infection), exist whether she ever has kittens or not. If you don't want her to have kittens, that is just fine! Hope this helps.
