How Old?

[M Evertsen]

2 year old cat. His mom just didn't show him how to brush his teeth properly

Good job on the cat. I really have no clue, but I was thinking in the 10 year old range when I first saw the pictures.

Since cats eat the same food year round and don't really have a lean time of year, (except pregnant females) how can one be accurately aged? Tooth drop is one method, suture charcteristics is another, but since cats can not be accurately aged by anuli or tooth wear a number like 11 or 14 is more like a guess. I can tell if a cat is young med or old. How old I can't say and unless the cat was tagged, collared, chipped or tatooed as a kitten, it is doubtful one can say how old your cat is. I know it is over the hill.

Do you have a pic before it was skinned?

Yea look at an old Tom. That's him. He was 6' 9" with the missing tail and weighed 110 on the scale.
