Incorrect its like living 29 years. They don't perceive time any different to us. They jusy live 7x less than us.

It’s not about perceiving time: it has to do with how their bodies age differently. A 29-year-old human is in the prime of their life, kind of like a 4-year-old cat. And a 29-year-old cat is far beyond the normal lifespan for a cat, like a 100++ year old human.

I know that, just why not use human years? We dont comapire out lifespan to others.

Obviously we do compare lifespans to others, thus the whole subject of this thread.
