Frequently asked questions

How old is my cat in human years?

By the usual rule of thumb the first cat year equals about 15 human years, the second adds 9 (24 in total) and every further year counts about 4. A 10-year-old cat would be around 56.

Is the old "times 7" rule right?

No, it is too rough. Cats are fully grown after one year and age more slowly afterwards than "times 7" suggests.

When is a cat a senior?

As a guide, cats count as mature from about 7 years and as seniors from about 11 years. Every cat ages differently.

Is this a health value?

No. The number is for comparison and not a veterinary statement. For health questions ask your vet.
