Veterinary experts recommend a different way of counting cats compared to people, since cats do not grow even through life. According to this method, the first year of cat life corresponds to about 15 human years.
When the cat is two years old, 9 more human years are added to that age, so the two -year -old cat has about 24 human years. After that, each additional cat year represents approximately four human years. Thus, for example, a three -year -old cat has about 28 human years, and six -year -old reaches approximately 40 years.
Knowing the real age of your cat helps to adjust your diet, activities and veterinary care. Older cats can develop health problems such as arthritis, teeth problems or reduced vision and hearing. Regular veterinary examinations and custom diet are key to maintaining the quality of life of your pet.
Although the figures provide the frame, each cat is unique. Carefully watching the behavior and need of your cat is the best way to provide her with a long and happy life.
