This is inaccurate due to the inconsistencies in aging as well as there being far more accurate equations to predict a cat's age in "cat years". A more accurate equation often used by veterinarians to predict cat years is 4x + 16, (x being the chronological age of the cat) which works for cats who are two years of age or older.

This is a list of the oldest cats in the world, verified or not, listed by reported age, all of whom have attained the minimum age of 25 years. Aging in cats depends on breed, size and diet. Some of the ages reported here are approximate. Others are based on either estimates or hearsay. Few of them have been confirmed by any authoritative agency.
One formula for cat years is based on a cat reaching maturity in approximately 1 year, which could be seen as 16 in human terms, then adding about 4 years for every year the cat ages. A 5-year-old cat would then be (5 − 1) × 4 + 16 = 32 "cat years" (i.e. human-equivalent years), and a 10-year-old cat (10 − 1) × 4 + 16 = 52 in human terms. [7]

Usually, breeders and foster/rescue homes will not sell or adopt out a kitten that is younger than twelve weeks. In many jurisdictions, it is illegal to give away kittens younger than eight weeks of age. [18] Kittens generally reach sexual maturity at around seven months old. A cat reaches full "adulthood" around one year of age. [19]
Pinko, our plump Russian Blue cat, turned 18 in late summer. Yep, 18. If Pinko were an American human in Florida, he’d move to The Villages, eat dinner at 4:15 p.m., drive a hideously decorated ...
The average female cat gestation period is a little over two months, and a mama cat will spend another eight weeks or so nursing her kittens. When they are first born, they are completely helpless.
Fever coat is an effect known in domestic cats, where a pregnant female cat has a fever or is stressed, causing her unborn kittens' fur to develop a silver-type color (silver-grey, cream, or reddish) rather than what the kitten's genetics would normally cause. After birth, over some weeks the silver fur is replaced naturally by fur colors ...
