How Old is My Cat – Guessing a cat’s age – Pet tip 201
When people adopt a new cat or are thinking about buying a cat they often want to know how old that cat is. If the cat is a kitten this is usually easy. The original owner should know how old the kitten was or if you bring the kitten to a veterinarian, the vet should be able to tell how old the kitten is with a reasonable degree of accuracy. If good records were kept from kitten-hood or previous adoptions, again this is an easy task. The problem occurs when you are considering getting an adult cat whose age and/or history are unknown.
The truth is, is that it’s very difficult to accurately tell how old an adult cat is just by looking at it. A five year old cat can look very similar to an eight year old cat and a two year old cat looks very similar to an 8 year old cat. Sometimes we can make educated guesses as to how old a cat is by looking at its teeth, but even this can be very misleading. The condition of a cat’s teeth has a lot to do with its environment specifically what it eats. A cat that eats hard kibble will have very different looking teeth than a cat that gets fed out of a can. Indoor cats have different looking teeth than stray/feral cats. There is also genetic variability that helps determine what a cat’s teeth look like. Basically there’s no real pattern to look for that helps determine age.

Hi, our names are Sassy and Sophie. We are twin sisters. We are two lucky kittys because our orginal owers left us on the side of the road when we were just 5 months old. Some nice people found us and brought us home. They could not keep us though because they had to many pets already so they placed ads around town looking for a new home. Our mommy saw the add and adopted us. Now we are happy and safe in a wonderful home.
Likes: One thing we like to do the most is eat. We like to eat all the time, and we will eat anything anyone will give us, although our favourite food is kraft dinner. We also really like chicken (especially Mary Brown's), and cheese. We also like playing with our toys. Our favorite toys are little mice. We spend hours playing with them, but we always lose them in under the fridge and washer and dryer. We like to hide them in our owners boots, and we sometimes put them in the toilet to keep them safe. I don't think my mom likes that because she keeps the lid down now. We also really like spending time in the windows watching the birds outside.
Dislikes: There are not many things that we do not like. We don't really like when we get our claws clipped, and Sophie don't really like loud noises and a lot of people around. She seems to get scared.
Favourite lounging spot: We like to sleep on our kitty condo. Sassy usually sleeps at the top, and Sophie likes to sleep inside of it. Sometimes we switch. We also like to cuddle up together on our owners bed, and stretched out in the middle of the kitchen floor in the sun.
Most embarressing moment : For Sassy, she is really clumsy and she is always falling off things and tipping things over. She also doen't land on her feet all the time. I think her most embarressing moment was when she was sat on the edge of the bed cleaning herself in front of her mom, and she leaned back to clean her stomach and fell off the bed. For Sophie, she haven't had one yet.
