Cat Age Calculator – Convert Your Cat's Age to Human Years
The cat age calculator converts your cat's age to equivalent human years. Cats develop rapidly when young: the first year equals about 15 human years and the second year about 9 years. After that, each cat year equals approximately 4 human years.
Enter your cat's age in years and months, and the calculator converts it to equivalent human age and tells you what life stage your cat is in: kitten, young adult, mature, or senior. Cats reach adulthood at about one year of age.
How long can cats live?
The average lifespan of indoor cats is 12–18 years. Indoor cats typically live longer than outdoor cats. Cats over 20 years old are rare but possible — the world record is over 38 years. A 15-year-old cat is equivalent to about a 76-year-old human.
