How We Calculate Ragdoll Age
Unlike the outdated "7 years" rule, our Ragdoll age calculator uses breed-specific aging data. Ragdolls age rapidly in their first year (equivalent to 15 human years), then 9 human years in year two, and 4 human years for each subsequent year. As a large cat, Ragdolls typically have shorter lifespans but develop more slowly in their first year.
