Just as people are living longer than they did in the past, cats are living longer too.
Cats are individuals and, like people, they experience advancing years in their own unique ways.

For every year thereafter, each cat year is worth about four human years. Advancing age is not a disease Aging is a natural process. Although many complex physical changes accompany advancing years, age in and of itself is not a disease. Even though many conditions that affect older cats are not correctable, they can often be controlled.
