Reply to comment by SomewhatIntriguing in TIL the oldest cat ever lived to 38 years and 3 days - 1967 to 2005. by TrevorIsTheGOAT

You’re doubting sciences ability to age an extremely common and well studied living animal? Interesting! In that case I’ve got some snake oil to sell you

So tell me, how do they accurately age a cat?

Edit: no response? I’m shocked!

I’m serious. If you believe you can accurately tell the age of a dead cat then please enlighten me and tell me how.

Bones. That’s all the effort I’m going to put in to explaining something to you that isn’t exactly a secret. Again buddy, Google is your friend.

You're just blocked dude. For what it's worth, finding the age of most animals can only be done through inference. There are genetic methods being researched but currently there is no reliable quantitative method.
