Cat Life Stages Explained: Kitten to Senior (Timeline)


Listen Later

A cat's life cycle is divided into 6 distinct biological stages, each with its own nutritional and behavioral needs. In this episode, we map the timeline from Kitten (Growth) to Geriatric (15+), explaining the critical "Socialization Window" (2-7 weeks) that shapes their personality forever.
 
We cover:
  • The "Junior" Phase: Why 6-month-old cats are like human teenagers (rebellious and testing boundaries).
  • The Prime Years: When physical and cognitive abilities peak (3-6 years).
  • The "Invisible" Shift: Identifying the subtle signs of the Mature stage (7-10 years).
  • Senior Care: Managing cognitive dysfunction and mobility in the final years.

Stop treating them like kittens forever; start treating them for their age.
