How old is a 5-month-old kitten in human years?
≈ 6 human years.
Sexual maturity can arrive this early, which is why most vets book neutering around now.
Kittens front-load their ageing: the first twelve months are worth about 15 human years, which is why a six-month-old kitten is closer to a human pre-teen than a toddler.
