1. I Remember Reading...

... and I could be wrong... that it's about 5:1 for cats. So they would be about 55 years old.

4. That could be right. They seem middle-aged but not old.

2. Is this some kind of dirty question that you have to be "in" on to get? nt

6. Aw.. that sounds so old. :^( I hope we have many more years with them

They don't go to the vet but thet are inside cats so maybe they will last a while yet.

9. My mom's outdoor cat

is 21! And she's still going strong. My oldest was 17 1/2 in human years. 14 and over is considered a fairly long lived cat. I lost one in August who was 15. My current oldest is 14, and she's got diabetes and probably won't live a whole helluva lot longer.

8. Then my oldest one is about 30.

I knew a cat who lived to be 76 years in people age. He did not do any thing but sleep, but he was a dear...

7. If they were born 11 1/2 years ago

then they would be ... just a minute now ... almost got it ....
er, 11 1/2.

That is because a year on this little planet is measured by one full rotation of the earth around the sun. It is the same for everyone and everything on this little planet. 1 year is one year. There is no such thing as "kitty years" or "dog years" or even "freeper years." There are just "years"

I hope that answers your question.
