# Cat to Human Age Calculator

Convert a cat's chronological age into human-equivalent years using the standard 15-9-4 model. Also returns life stage (kitten, adult, mature, senior).

## When to Use This Skill
- User wants to know how old their cat is in human years
- Questions about "is my cat senior yet?"
- Pet age comparisons or life stage advice
- Birthday or adoption date calculations for cats

## Primary Method: Use the Public API (Recommended)

**Endpoint**
```
GET https://ktpanabul.com/api/pseo/agents/cat-age-calculator
```

**Parameters**

| Parameter     | Required          | Description |
|---------------|-------------------|-------------|
| `birth_date`  | No*               | `YYYY-MM-DD` (today to 50 years ago) |
| `age_years`   | No*               | Number 0–30, up to 2 decimals |

*Either `birth_date` or `age_years` is required.

**Example API Calls**
```bash
# By age
curl "https://ktpanabul.com/api/pseo/agents/cat-age-calculator?age_years=2.5"

# By birth date
curl "https://ktpanabul.com/api/pseo/agents/cat-age-calculator?birth_date=2021-03-10"
```

**Expected Response**
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "species": "cat",
    "pet_age_years": 2.5,
    "human_age_years": 26,
    "human_age_display": "26.0",
    "life_stage": "adult"
  }
}
```

## Fallback Calculation (if API unavailable)

Use this formula for manual calculation:

- 1st year = 15 human years
- 2nd year = 9 human years
- Each year after = 4 human years

**Life Stages**
- **kitten**: < 1 year
- **adult**: 1 – 6 years
- **mature**: 6 – 10 years
- **senior**: > 10 years
