Cat Age to Human Age Conversion: The Correct Formula
The common claim that '1 cat year equals 7 human years' is scientifically incorrect. Cats develop very rapidly in the first year; the end of year one corresponds to approximately 15 human years. Year two adds 9 more human years. From year three onwards, each cat year equals approximately 4 human years.
