I'd say it's neither old nor young. I believe it's like the 30s/40s of cats.

My cats are also pretty healthy otherwise - they're even older now and the vet always says she'd believe it if I said they were 5 by their muscle tone etc.

This is what I intended "fairly old" to be. The framing of the article was about grade school kids, so I really just meant well above that age. :D

haha that's fair

I think the gist of all this is "brush your teeth"!
