01.05.2024 18:29
Cats grow at a completely different rate than humans.
But by some signs it is possible to determine what age the pet is in human terms.
What to look out for
The best way to determine the age of a furry friend is by a veterinarian, who can analyze certain signs.
But you can do this yourself if you pay attention to the appearance of your pet.
To do this, you can look at the animal's fur.
Kittens begin to shed at four or five months. It ends by eight months or a year.
Cats between one and seven years of age will have smooth, well-defined fur.
After eight years, the animal may develop certain skin problems and mats.
You can also check the animal's teeth and eyes to determine its age.
How to find out age by human standards
To find out the age of a furry friend in human terms, you can multiply its age by seven.
There is another method of calculation. It is believed that a year of a pet's life is equal to 15 human years.
Two years will equal 24 years. But from 3 to 12 years you need to add 4 years.
