We all get old. We all get rickety and we all experience aches as we age. And guess what, our pets get old too. Senior pets require much love and attention. Just like any senior, they have lived a long honorable life and they have given us much love and service that they need the special treatment that any grandpa or grandma deserves.
Cats and dogs age faster than humans. This is because they have smaller bodies and mature faster than humans do. When a cat or a dog turns one, he or she is about 15 years old in human years. When the cat or dog is at two he or she is 24 in human years.
For cats, each year after their second year is equivalent to five human years. So if your cat is three years old, he or she would be 27 years old in human years.
