How long do cats live?

Question

How long do cats live?

Answer 1

It depends on many factors but the most limiting one is environment -- indoor or outdoor or combination. Indoor-only cats average about 20 years while outdoor-only cats have an average lifespan of 9-10 years. Healthy cats (with good genes) can live long, memorable lives provided that are kept active, fed a balanced diet, and loved. ;>

Answer 2

Well, it depends on the cat. The oldest cat on record, I believe was 46, and then again, some don't even make it out of the womb.:(



For a normal indoor cat it's 10-20 years, depending on it's health. An outdoor cat, might live that long, but it's less likely.

Answer 3

I had a female cat that was spaded and she lived 21yrs. I had another male cat that lived for 17 yrs. Cats can live faily long if they are an inside cat, as this minimizes their chance of getting hit by a car.

Answer 4

10 to 15 years. Sometimes it depends on the breed the cat is.

Answer 5

A long time because they have 9 lives. LOL. Seriously though. They usually live from 12-15 years if they are fed and treated well and are healthy.
