The many rules of thumb that are available to compare cat ages to human ages are usually based upon total life expectancy. An average catâs life expectancy is around 17 years, and a humanâs is around 84 years.This leads to a rough equivalency of five-to-one. But it is not an apples-to-apples comparison.onventional wisdom holds that each year for a cat is equivalent to seven years of development and aging for a person. Or that each cat year is equivalent to five human years. Or that the first two years are equivalent to 21 years, and each subsequent year is equivalent to four or five years.
