The lifespan of a cat is 14–16 years, which is comparable to 70–80 years of human life. There are also longlived cats: for example, one record holder named Cream Puff lived for 38 years.
During its 16 years, the animal goes through all stages of development: from childhood to old age. But unlike a person, in an accelerated mode. Pets grow and develop very quickly. Already in the first year of life, a cat turns from a baby into an adult animal. The pet reaches puberty at 6–7 months, and by the age of one and a half years it is ready to reproduce.
An animal's development and life expectancy largely depend on care. Let's try to compare the ages of a cat and a person.
