I wonder

Tre was at least 15, and possibly more when he died last month.

Tiny is my oldest now, and she just turned 12 last month. Thufir is about a year behind - I gave him the same birthday as her since I don't know what it is, so he's 11 now. My 'baby,' Promise, will be turning 7 in May. I can't believe that the little bitty kitten I found out in the alley will be old enough to be considered a 'senior' cat.

My cats are both 6.

Whisper and Bootser will turn 17 in July.
BooBoo and Ms. Pepe just turned 15 this past February.
Amber Louise will be 9 in November.
And Mollipop just turned 1 this past February.

So we have all ages around here.

I've got 10, but just naming the eldest 'cause of finger cramping. lol

But they go from 15, 11, 10, 9, 8, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2 (3 in April! :-D)

Actually, by the end of the 1st year of a cat's life, they're a human equivalent of 24 years old. Then they age at a rate of 4 human years per year.

Whisky's Dad, I can't calculate how old your kitty would be in human years, but Julie, your cat is 80.

I think you all might be confusing the definition of human years vs cat years? Human years are the actual physical 365-day (well, 365.25) years we all know and love.

CAT YEARS is us humans' attempt to equivalate a cat's age with what we consider to be appropriate age markers (i.e. 1 year is 24 because cats start to mature and act less kittenish at that point, and 6 years old is middle aged because that's when cats get the same health problems as middle aged humans).

So Tails is 7 months old in human years, but he is a teenager in cat years.
