About Cat Age Calculation
Contrary to the popular myth, one cat year does not equal seven human years. Cats age much faster in their first two years of life.
How We Calculate Cat Years
Our calculator uses the latest veterinary research to convert cat years to human years:
- First Year: 15 human years
- Second Year: 9 human years
- Each Year After: 4 human years
Cat Life Stages
| Life Stage | Cat Age | Human Age Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Kitten | 0-1 year | 0-15 years |
| Junior | 2-3 years | 24-28 years |
| Adult | 3-6 years | 28-40 years |
| Mature | 7-10 years | 44-56 years |
| Senior | 11-14 years | 60-72 years |
| Super Senior | 15+ years | 76+ years |
Indoor vs Outdoor Cats
Indoor cats typically live longer than outdoor cats. Indoor cats can live 13-17 years on average, while outdoor cats may only live 3-5 years due to various risks such as predators, diseases, and accidents.
Common Age-Related Health Considerations
- Kittens (0-1 year): Vaccination schedule, parasite control, nutritional needs for growth
- Young Adults (1-6 years): Dental health, weight management, routine preventative care
- Middle-Aged (7-10 years): Early screening for kidney disease, thyroid issues, arthritis
- Seniors (11+ years): More frequent health checks, monitoring for chronic conditions, adjusting environment for comfort
