The calculation will be the same for all cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to cats, size impacts the rate at which dogs age after their second birthday. A large dog will mature quicker than a small one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The life stages for cats are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Kitten<\/strong>: under 1 year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Junior<\/strong>: 1 to 2 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adult<\/strong>: 3 to 10 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Senior<\/strong>: 11 to 14 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Geriatric<\/strong>: 15 years and older<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The life stages for dogs are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Puppy<\/strong>: under 1 year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Junior<\/strong>: 1 year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adult<\/strong> : 2 to 6 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mature<\/strong>: 7 to 9 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Senior<\/strong>: 10 years and older<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-formula-behind-the-calculator\">The Formula Behind the Calculator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Calculator is built based on American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) guidelines.
