We have two cats, both about 15 years old. But, I'm wondering what
multiplier one should use to calculate their physiological age. I've always
heard that the multiplier for dogs is 7 years. Same for cats?

Thanks,

PJF

No, it is more complex. There is a table, also a calculator, on my

David,

Thanks so much. Just what I needed to know. BTW, the two CAT-toons were
delightful.

Regards,

PJF
