Ever wondered how old your cat really is? Forget the simple “1 cat year = 7 human years” formula! Let’s dive into the truth behind your kitty’s age.
Unlike humans, cats age rapidly in their first two years. At 2, a cat is roughly equivalent to a 24-year-old human. But after that, it’s not so simple!
Kittens grow up fast, reaching full maturity at around 1-2 years. After that, they enter the adult phase, which lasts until about 7 years.
When your cat hits their 7th birthday, they’re considered a senior. Cats age like us, but a bit faster, so older cats need extra care!
