Calculating a cat’s age in human years helps veterinarians determine which of the six life stages a cat is in.
It should be remembered that a cat who lives outdoors ages far more quickly, perhaps even twice as fast, than an indoor cat.
Formula to convert cat years to human years.
It is said that first two years of a cat are equal to 24 human years. Then after that, every one cat year is equal to 4 human years.
| Cat Years | Human Years |
| 2 | 24 |
| 3 | 28 |
| 4 | 32 |
| 5 | 36 |
| 6 | 42 |
Example:
Calculate the age of a 4 year old cat in human years.
Since we know that the first two years of a cat are equal to 24 human years, and after that we add 4 human years for every one cat year, therefore;
24 + 4 + 4 = 32
Thus , the cat is 32 years old in human years.
