Generally speaking, a cat will live longer, but not by much. It does depend on the breed of dog, of course; larger dogs live longer than smaller ones, and some breeds of dogs are overbred to the point that they die early from congenital illnesses. Some cat breeds are equally overbred and susceptible to diseases, and cats allowed into the outdoors often fall prey to larger predators.

The oldest living cat is 39 years old and the oldest dog that ever lived (who is dead) lived to be 29 . cats usually outlive dogs anywas . most pets in general only live between 8 and 17 years tho because of commercial petfood . they should be living well into their 20s but nobody wants to take the time to feed their pet real food

Cats normally live 15-17 years, and large dogs normally live 10-12 years. Small dogs normally live 14-16 years. So yes, cats normally live longer than dogs.
