How many cat years is equal to 1 human year?

Answer 1

There are many tables for converting between cat years (age) and human years (age). Many of them use a very simple calculation (e.g. 1 cat year equals 7 human years). This is inaccurate as:

The average life for a house cat (excluding accidental death, in particular car accidents) is about 1/5th that of a person, not 1/7th.
A cat has a relatively short childhood. A cat with an expected lifespan of 15 years would be mature (sexually and physically) within 1 year. A man with an expected lifespan of 75 years (the current approximate male life expectancy in developed countries) would have the equivalent maturity at 15 years of age. Thus the cat reached maturity in 1/15th of its lifespan whereas the person was mature in 1/5th (15 years / 75 years) of his lifespan. Consequently, while one can say that the man is living 5 times as long as the cat, so each cat year is equal to 5 human years, the first year of life for the cat sees the same amount of development as in the first 15 or so human years. For this reason, an accurate mapping of cat years to human years needs to consider factors other than expected lifespan.
In brief, a one year old cat has the same maturity as a 15 year old human, a two year old cat has the same maturity as a 25 year old person, thereafter each calendar year a cat ages the equivalent of 4 human years.


here is a little table of years between cat and human years: (left side is cat years and right human)

1 15
2 25
3 29
4 33
5 37
6 41
7 45
8 49
9 53
10 57
11 61
12 65
13 69
14 73
15 77
16 81
17 85
18 89
19 93
20 97

The oldest recorded age for a cat is 34 years.

Cat Years

Answer 4

Because of how their bodies age, cat's actually don't have a set # years/age like dogs do. The first year of a cat's life is actually equal to 15. By the time they're 2, they've turned 20 in human years. At 3 they are 25. It slows down after that - at 7 years they are 45 in human terms, which is now less than the 7 years/human year that dogs experience.
