Age of a Cat in Human Years
Cats mature really quickly in the first few months of life, then at around 2 years old it settles down to roughly 4 human years for each cat year. Bear this in mind if you are set on adopting a young kitten, as it won't stay tiny for very long. By the time it's around 12-18 months, your tiny bundle of fluff will be a fully grown cat.
