Below is a comparison table of cat age and human age:
- 1 month: equivalent to 6 months in human years
- 3 months: equivalent to 4 years in human years
- 6 months: equivalent to 10 years in human years
Here is a commonly used reference table comparing cat age to human age. Please note that actual age comparisons may vary depending on the cat's breed, health, and living conditions.

Simple Conversion Rules:
The first year of a cat’s life is roughly equivalent to 15 human years.
The second year equals about 24 human years.
After the second year, each additional cat year equals approximately 4 human years.
Note:
Different breeds and individual cats may mature and age at different rates, so this is a general guideline.
For an accurate assessment of your cat’s health, consult a veterinarian and ensure your cat receives regular check-ups, proper nutrition, and exercise.
Kittens usually cannot tell the difference between male and female for the first few weeks after birth, but generally speaking, they will gradually learn to distinguish between the two sexes as they grow. At about 12 weeks, the kitten's penis or vulva will become more obvious, so that their gender can be determined.
If you need to determine the gender of a kitten, the most reliable way is to have it examined by a veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine the gender of a kitten by observing its genitals, and can also check for other health problems during the physical examination.
