Cat age in human years

Slide to your cat's age to see the rough human equivalent and the life stage it falls in.

Your cat's age: 4 years

Method. Common rule of thumb: year one ≈ 15, year two ≈ 24, then about 4 per year. It is a comparison, not a prediction of lifespan.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the cat age calculator?

The calculator uses a non-linear conversion model based on the International Cat Care life-stage chart. The first two years age fastest in human terms; after that growth slows. It is an estimate — your vet can assess biological age more precisely.

Does the tool store any data about me or my cat?

No. All calculations happen in your browser and nothing is transmitted to any server. There is no account, no tracking of individual pets, and no advertising profile built from your input.

How do I calculate how much to feed my cat?

The feeding calculator (coming soon) will use your cat's weight and life situation to estimate daily calorie needs, following the WSAVA Global Nutrition Guidelines. For now, see our feeding guide for a worked example.

What life stages does the calculator cover?

The calculator maps ages 1–20 years across five stages: Kitten, Junior, Adult, Mature, and Senior/Geriatric. These stages follow the AAFP/AAHA life-stage definitions.

When will the other tools launch?

The feeding calculator, litter-box planner, and toxic-plant lookup are in development. Join the newsletter on the News page to be notified when they go live.
