How Old Is Your Cat in Human Years?
Cats age much faster than humans in their early years, reaching adulthood by age 2. After that, they continue to age at a steady pace. While most cats age similarly regardless of breed, their lifestyle (indoor vs. outdoor) and health can affect longevity.
This chart helps you translate your cat’s age into human years — from playful kitten to graceful senior.
