We have a male cat that came with our apartment. We have lived where we do now for over 5 years so we know he is at least that old. Is there anyway of correctly telling how old a cat is if you don't know for sure? Our other cat is just over a year old and they get along just fine ^_^ (. .) _____ <++tim++>

I believe that your veterinarian can give you an estimate based on the teeth I think. I may be wrong on this. Jack Wickwire | |||||

The usual way to "age" them approximately is that the vet will check the teeth for tratar buildup; unless you've had the teeth cleaned (or the pre- ) the tartar buildup's a fairly good metric. However, it's jut approximate because different cats have different buildup rates (my late Morgan had a very rapid buildup; my current Merlin has very little). Steve Kallis, Jr. | |||||
