Cat Age Calculator (Human Years)
Cat-to-human age by the AAFP/AAHA feline life-stage chart — the 15-9-4 rule, mapped.
A 2-year-old cat is already ~24 in human terms, then aging settles to ~4/year. Indoor cats now routinely reach 15–20 (≈76–96 human years) — the AAFP life-stage framework matters because senior cats (11+) need twice-yearly vet checks and earlier kidney/thyroid screening, the two conditions that quietly dominate feline old age.
