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.

While my brother, Rascal, enjoys showing off his tuxedo, I personally enjoy the "thug" look in a white t-shirt and black leather jacket. Rascal can be both my best friend and my worst enemy! I like to snuggle up with him for a nap and he gives good baths, but he can also be a real pest sometimes. He likes to trip me when I'm walking. I tend to knock my mom, Pooh Bear, over when I rub up against her, which gets her a little mad at me (I can't help it, she's so puny!), but otherwise, I'm really just a big pussycat! I have a very important responsibility, that I take VERY seriously. It's my job to greet everyone at the door as they come in and make sure they feel welcome - even if they are strangers! Then, when they go to leave, I have to walk them to the door and make sure they get out safely. I'll even lay down in front of the door and allow them to pet my tummy!My two most favorite things in the whole wide world are seasonal. In the summer, I like to play outside (I'll even go outside in the rain and snow, but it's not as much fun). Unfortunately I'm only able to go to the end of my leash. In the winter, I love to flake out on any available knee and I LOVE warming myself infront of the fireplace. I also love to play with my toy balls (I can't be bothered with all of those fake mice!). You can email me at rowdy@onecooldude.com You can see my brother, Rascal, and my mom, Pooh Bear, at their own websites. I have another website here, and you can also see all of us together. I also have a new little sister called Punkin and a new pesky little cousin called Aja (I think she looks kinda like a rat).
