Dogs age seven dog years for every human year. Humans, Urban Legend/Hollywood-myth-wise, get itchy after 7. Twinkies have…well, we’re not really sure. But: how many cat years hath a cat, in the human v. feline equation?
-
The seven year thing is nonsense; dogs AND cats have entirely different maturation and aging cycles from humans.
-
The oldest cats live to their late 20s, IIRC.
Cecil Adams on Is it true one “dog year” equal seven “human years”?
Nametag: I know about the different maturation times betw. cats and dogs. And maybe the 7 dog years for every human is nonsense, but I was wondering if there is, however non-sensical it maybe, a number of cat years per human years.
