How do cat years compare to human years?
The popular idea that one cat year equals seven human years is a myth — it doesn't match how cats really grow. Cats mature quickly in their first two years, reaching the human equivalent of the mid-twenties.
After that, aging settles into a gentle, steady pace. That's why we count the early years generously and the later ones more slowly.
