I thought cat years were seven per year.

But this says 26 years is 120.

That’s 4.6 cat years per human year.

Dogs are 7 years to a human year.
Cats I believe are 5 years to a human year

It is NOT linear. Certainly a one year old cat is more like a 17 year old than a seven year old. It is just a rule of thumb with the numbers getting smaller as the years pile on.

Dogs are 7 to 1. Cats are more like 5 years to 1.

Cats mature quickly (even if they continue to behave like kittens). At 2 years old, they are 24 in human years. After that the ratio is 4 cat years to 1 human year, so 120 years is correct.
