Can a 13 year old cat have kittens?

Can a 10 year old cat be called an old cat?

You can call a cat a ‘senior’ at a certain age (say 10 to 12 yrs old), and it would be accurate. But that’s not necessarily the same as ‘old’, where one might think the cat is old & failing, in poor shape, etc. Depends on the cat and the circumstances of it’s life. It’s safe to say housecats (pets in good homes) are living longer now.

It happens to all cats eventually. Your cuddly kitten is now officially entering her senior years. That does not mean that she does not have many healthy and happy years left to enjoy with you. It only signals that now you will need to become your cat’s advocate to help ensure she enjoys her golden years.

How old is a 10 year old cat in human years?

After reaching the age of 2 years, every cat year equals around 4 human years. Based on this formula, we can calculate that a 10-year-old cat equals a 53-year-old person, a 12-year-old cat equals a 61-year-old person and a 15-year-old cat equals a 73-year-old person. Ultimately, a 21-year-old equals a one century old person.
