How Old is Your Cat Really?
Normally, cats have a longer life span than dogs, I should say “indoor” cats. A cat that lives outdoors has a greatly reduced life span due to many circumstances. These include, getting into fights with other animals, extreme weather conditions, getting hit by cars, poisoning and many other conditions. If your cat is 12 years old, what would be the equivalent human age? The following chart obtained from Healthy Pets.Com outlines the life stage, actual age of the cat and the human age equivalent
STAGE CAT AGE HUMAN EQUIVALENT
- Kitten 1 to 6 months 1 to 10
- Junior 7 months to 2 years 12 to 24
- Prime 3 to 6 years 25 to 43
- Mature 7 to 10 years 44 to 56
