HOW OLD IS YOUR CAT?

We are frequently asked how old in “people years” a cat is.  Many people believe that 1 year of a cat’s life is equivalent to seven human years.  In fact it is much more variable than that and is different for cats than it is for dogs. Below is a chart that is probably the closest to what is currently believed for an age chart for cats.
