* Cats age differently than humans. A cat's age isn't a direct 1:1 comparison to a human's age.
* There's no single, perfect formula. Different sources use different formulas to convert cat years to human years.
Here's a general idea of how cat ages compare to human ages:
* First year: A cat's first year is roughly equivalent to 15 human years.
* Second year: The second year is like another 9 human years.
* After that: Each subsequent cat year is about 4 human years.
So, if a cat is 3 years old:
* First year (15 human years) + Second year (9 human years) + Third year (4 human years) = 28 human years
In other words, a 3-year-old cat is about 28 years old in human terms.
However, keep in mind this is a rough estimate! It's always best to talk to a veterinarian for more specific information about your cat's age and health.
