Expert Answer
One cat year equals 12 months, roughly comparable to a human aged 15โ18, marking adulthood. Cats live about 12โ18 years and may show heat signs at 6โ8 months, so a one-year-old cat is physically mature and can breed.
Kittens under one year need kitten-formula food for growth, while cats over one year should switch to adult food to avoid excess weight from overnutrition.
