Is There A Way To Tell A Cat's Age?

[DEEKAYPEE8569]

That night, I would have definetly checked the bed before crawling into it

Well, she has jumped off my dresser onto my back in the middle of the night MANY times; scaring the sh*t outta me, so I guess THAT is kinda like a payback. Other'n that, she will curl up on my chest under my chin while I'm laid back in the LAY-Z-BOY trying to watch TV.

That wasnt love, the female spawn of the devil was stealing your breath.

Like duh ... write to the Hawaii Department of Health and ask for a copy of her birth certificate (long form).

You kinda sound like an "old wife."

i think this happened to my grandfather, but it was either a cat or dog, and it hated him! it would always poop on his pillow everyday!

She 'left me a present' in my coat once, but only because her litter box was full; and in the kitchen where I keep it.......sandbox with "landmines."

Ok, well how many years ago did you get her? And was she fully grown then?

Just ask it. But you have to ask based on the origin of the cat. For example, if it's a Siamese, you have to speak to it in Siamese. If it's an alley cat, you gotta talk jive.

You get the idea.....

Well.........it's been a while ago when I 'found' her.
I moved to Piney Point in '96 and 'found' her in '97 or '98, I guess.....so I know she's older than 12. She is still agile enough to jump up onto the kitchen counter and dining room table, so she's not arthritic, as far as I can tell; although I know that ar-tha-ri-tis isn't necessarily an accurate age indicator. I just thought someone might know of an accurate/serious way to determine a feline's age. Thanx for the input.

It KINDA does. This website gives you the indicators but not a gauge FOR those indicators.

According to the age conversion chart, she's six, but I know she's older'n that; so MAYBE between 8 and 10 yrs. She lives a pretty pampered life. She's primarily an indoor cat; has the run of the house; climbs/lays on whatever, whenever she feels like it. She's got me trained, I guess. /:-\

You just said you found her in 97 or 98, so she'd have to be at least 11 or 12, right? And if she was fully grown when you found her you could probably tack on at least 1 more year.

As with any cat....old enough.
