Cat Age Calculator – Convert Cat Years to Human Years
The Cat Age Calculator translates feline chronological age into human years using consensus guidelines from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP). A cat’s first year equals 15 human years, the second year adds 9 human years (reaching 24), and each subsequent year adds approximately 4 human years.
