Cat Care Society - Guide to the Aging of our Pets

Guide to the Aging of our Pets

Our cats share our lives and enrich us in many ways. During the past 20 years, so many advances in nutrition and geriatric care have been made that the oft-remembered guide of one year being equal to seven years for your cat is no longer a good comparison. The following is a more realistic guide to the biological aging of our pets.
