Millie, a tortoiseshell cat, has made headlines after celebrating her 30th birthday, earning her the title of the oldest feline worldwide. While the myth suggests one cat year equals seven human years, Purina clarifies the actual calculations: the first cat year equates to 15 human years, the second adds nine, and subsequently, each additional year represents four human years. Purina offers a Cat Years Calculator to help owners determine their cats’ ages more accurately, considering factors like teeth, fur, eyes, muscles, and bones for those who adopt older cats.
According to Purina, the first year of your cat's life is actually considered the equivalent of 15 human years. The second year then adds nine more human years.
If we want to compare, we can work out cat years to human years with simple maths. The way in which a cat's age is determined is based off its physical and behavioural changes.
