How old is your cat in human years?

Understanding how old your feline friend is in human years is not as hard as you may think. Cats do not age purrfectly the same. Some breeds mature more slowly than others, and some have a longer expected lifespan. So take this formula with a grain of salt. On average, a 1 (one) year old housecat is about the same as a 15 year old human. A 2 (two) year old housecat is about the same as a 24 year old human. After the 2nd year for a cat just add 4 years to the human total for each additional year old your cat pal is. For example, a cat who is 9 years old makes them 24 plus 4 for each additional year over 2, or 28. Add the 24 and 28 and you see the cat is about 52 human years old.
