'After tooth development is complete at around eight or nine months it gets to be a "guesstimate" on the part of a vet or someone who has dealt with a lot of cats. You can guess a little by body tone or the condition of the teeth - mostly by whiteness as teeth are porous and discolor somewhat with age. Really older cats have a "grizzled" appearance to their faces.
Vets or shelter people have seen the greatest numbers of cats and can estimate age better than anyone else.

Any new cat should be taken to the vet to get it shots, check if its fixed, etc. The vet can give you a good estimate of its age.

Your vet would be able to tell you. Vets/technicians can look at their teeth, any tartar build up and the shape that their teeth are in and give you a guestimate give or take a year or so.

You can get a general idea if they are a kitten by checking to see if they have their adult teeth yet. If they are adults when they come to you, you kinda have to guess on the age.

take it to the vet, they can look at it's teeth..
If its a kitten it's USUALLY about 1 lb per month of age

subtract 1999 from 2007.. on his birthday this year, he would desire to be 8... cat "years" are the comparable as ours.. all of us stay on the comparable planet, which takes 365 earth days to rotate around the sunlight. cats and canines merely "age" greater promptly than we do, so as simply by fact of this human beings made up the complicated 7 years to our one. it fairly is stupid, imo.
