Cat Age Calculator — Cat Years → Human Years

A kind, science‑informed way to translate your cat’s age, with a mini health check, senior‑care checklist, and one‑click iCal reminders. Generate a soft, birthday‑style poster you can download or print.

Why cat aging isn’t 1:7

Unlike dogs, domestic cats age at a fairly similar rate across breeds. A widely used guide is: 1 cat year ≈ 15 human years, 2 cat years ≈ 24 human years, then add about 4 human years for each year thereafter. This gives a realistic picture of life stage for wellness planning rather than a strict biological law.

This tool is an estimate. If something feels off, always consult your veterinarian.

Mini Health Triage

Tick anything you’ve noticed recently. This quick screen suggests when to schedule a check and shows a senior‑care checklist.

Birthday‑Style Poster (gentle, pastel)

Tip: Center the face in a square crop. If the subject is off‑center, try uploading a more centered photo for a perfect circle crop.

iCal Reminders

Create calendar reminders you can import to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.

Your device will ask which calendar app to open. You can delete or edit these later inside your calendar.

FAQ

Is the 1:7 rule true for cats?

No. A better rule of thumb is ~15 human years at 1 cat year, ~24 at 2 years, then +4 per year.

Do breeds age differently?

Not as dramatically as dogs. Most domestic cats age at similar rates, so a single curve works well for everyday planning.

What are common life stages?

Kitten → Junior → Prime → Mature (7–10y) → Senior (11–14y) → Geriatric (15y+). Use our triage for care tips at each stage.

Medical disclaimer

This calculator can’t diagnose disease. If you checked multiple triage items or your cat is 11y+, schedule a wellness exam.
