Cat Forum / General Topics / September 2005Determining the age of a cat.
We've had Midnight now for about 4 months. She originally belonged to former neighbors of mine who moved and abandoned her, her sister and brother. I don't know what happened to Midnight's sister and brother, but after Midnight had been homeless for about a month, she ended up adopting us. When I first met her at my former neighbors house, she and her siblings were about 3 months old and that was 9 months ago. We figure that she's about a year or relatively close to a year now. My question is: How can we determine her exact age and how do we figure out her birthday?  SignatureI love my kitties and my kitties love me! >We've had Midnight now for about 4 months.

Once they have lost their babyteeth I don't know of any way to tell. > How can we determine her exact age and how do we figure out her birthday? Call your former neighbors. Duh. >> How can we determine her exact age and how do we figure out her birthday? > >Call your former neighbors. Duh. When they moved, we weren't on speaking terms. And even I was on speaking terms with them, they didn't know Midnight's exact birthday, either. They got Midnight and her siblings after one of their sons told them about the cats. Seems the mother abandoned Midnight and her siblings and the kittens were covered in fleas and not getting enough to eat. SignatureI love my kitties and my kitties love me! > How can we determine her exact age and how do we figure out her birthday? The only way to tell the age of an animal without the birthdate is by their baby teeth. Once those are gone, there's no way to tell.

SignatureMar --------- VTIT I ran into the same problem once. I really don't know how to do it except take the cat to the vet. >We've had Midnight now for about 4 months.

The vet couldn't really tell either. >I ran into the same problem once. I really don't know how to do it >except take the cat to the vet.
