Enter your cat's age in years (you can use decimals like 7.5 for 7 years and 6 months)
Select your cat's breed for more accurate life expectancy calculations and breed-specific health insights
Enter your cat's current weight and use the toggle button to switch between pounds and kilograms
Select your cat's lifestyle from the dropdown menu (indoor, outdoor, or mixed)
Select your cat's activity level for exercise recommendations and health risk assessment

Important: This cat age calculator is designed for educational and general pet care awareness purposes using established feline aging research and life stage classifications. While calculations are based on veterinary studies and typical feline development patterns, individual cats age differently based on breed, genetics, health status, diet, indoor/outdoor lifestyle, medical history, and environmental factors that cannot be captured by generalized age conversion formulas. Age equivalencies are approximations and should not be used for medical decisions, treatment planning, or health assessments. For accurate health evaluations, vaccination schedules, dietary recommendations, behavioral assessments, or any medical concerns about your cat, always consult with a qualified veterinarian who can assess your cat's individual needs, health status, and life stage requirements.
