How are cat years calculated?
The first year of a cat's life equals about 15 human years, the second year adds 9 more (total 24), and each year after that equals about 4 human years.
Do indoor and outdoor cats age differently?
Indoor cats typically live longer (12-18 years) than outdoor cats (2-5 years), but the aging formula is the same.
Is one cat year really seven human years?
No, that's a myth! Cats age much faster in their first two years. The 7:1 ratio is inaccurate.
