Based on AAHA guidelines โ the science-backed way to calculate cat age.
Products cat owners actually love
We use the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) guidelines. The first year of a cat's life equals about 15 human years. The second year adds another 9. After that, each cat year equals roughly 4 human years. This is more accurate than the old "multiply by 7" method.
No โ that's a dog myth that doesn't apply to cats. Cats age very rapidly in their first two years, then slow down. The AAHA method is far more accurate.
Yes โ indoor cats live 2-5 years longer on average due to lower risk of accidents and disease.
No โ this is for fun and general reference only. Always consult your vet for advice about your cat's health.
