40. It is believed that for every human year a cat year is 5.
5 cat-years equal about 36 human years<< technically the question asks how old a 5 year old cat is in HUMAN years not cat years, the answer to the question if it was asked in cat years is about 36 however the way this question was actually asked was in Human yeas so that answer is if the cat is 5 years old in HUMAN years then the cat is in fact 5.
Yes, there's a difference between cat years and dog years. What we call "dog years"(to calculate a dog's "human" age), is simple. For every human year a dog has lived, that's 7 "dog years". So a 2 year old dog is 14 dog years, while a 5 year old dog is 35 dog years. A cat's age is a little more tricky. Different sources vary slightly, but this is the most common way. The first year of a cat's life is 15 "cat years". Then you add 9 "cat years" for the second year, so a 2 "human year" old cat is 24 "cat years". For every "human year" after that, you add 4 "cat years". An 8 "human year" old cat would be 48 "cat years". "human year" = 365 days, one revolution around the Sun "cat year" = the comparative "year" for a cat based on milestones, such as walking, sexual maturity
Commonly people use 1 human years = 5 cat year, so a 20 year old cat would be 100 in cat years. However Cats and Humans mature at different ages relatively, so each cat year isn't equals to the same number of human years and visa versa.This online tool does all the calculation for you to Convert between Cat and Human years taking in to consideration the ages in which each matures: http://www.utilitiesman.com/fun/animals/cat-years
# Allow 15 human years for the first year of your cat's life. # Add nine years for the second year. A two-year old cat will approximate 24 human years. # Add four human years each for successive years of his life. Your cat is 56 in cat years. My childhood cat lived to be 19 years old; that's 92 in cat years! Source: http://cats.about.com/cs/catmanagement101/ht/convertcatyears.htm

Do NOT use the dog years formula. Cats age more quickly in the first years of their lives. The first year of a cats life is about fifteen years. the second year is about ten. so by the time a cat is two, it will have reached adulthood. Every year following is about 4 years. Example: 5 human years = 37 cat years Not 35 cat years (the dog years formula)
