How this calculator counts age

The numbers follow a widely published feline life-stage chart associated with the AAFP–AAHA Feline Life Stage Guidelines: about 15 human years in the first year, 24 by the end of the second, then about four human years for each year after that (so a 3-year-old cat is about 28 in human years).

Individual cats vary. This is not a health assessment and it does not predict lifespan.

Questions

What formula do you use?

15 human years for year 1, 24 for year 2, then 4 human years per year after that, matching the AAFP–AAHA feline life-stage chart often reprinted for pet owners. Part years are interpolated.

Is this the same as the dog calculator?

No. Cats have their own chart, so this page keeps its own title and numbers. The ×7 myth is shown as a contrast here too.

Is this veterinary advice?

No. It is a rough estimate from a public chart, not a diagnosis or a lifespan promise.
