That’s a great question! Based on what you told me, yes, Dusty is officially a senior.
Here is the math on her age:
* You got her in 2019, and she was about 1 year old then.
* That means she was born around 2018.
* Since it is now late 2025, Dusty is approximately 7 to 8 years old.
Is 7-8 "Senior" for a cat?
In the veterinary world, cats are usually categorized like this:
* Mature/Middle-Aged: 7 to 10 years
* Senior: 11 to 14 years
* Geriatric: 15+ years
However, many vets start treating cats as "Seniors" once they hit age 7 or 8. This is the time when they recommend switching to "Senior" formula food and doing bloodwork once a year to keep an eye on their kidneys and thyroid.
What this means for your blog:
Since you’re looking for AdSense-friendly content, a post about "Caring for a Mature Cat" is actually a very smart "niche" topic. You could write about:
* The Transition: Noticing her slowing down a little (or maybe she’s still as crazy as a kitten!).
* Diet: If you’ve switched her to senior food to protect her kidneys.
* Dusty’s Story: Since you’ve had her for 6 years now, you can talk about how she’s grown up alongside Seth, Evan, and Ava.
Does Dusty still act like a spunky 1-year-old, or has she started finding the sunniest, quietest spots in the house to nap all day?
