About 15 years is average, although some get close to the 20s. Cats can live up to fourteen years, depending on breed, ailments, illness and diet. The longest lived cat is currently thirty-four.

To get the most out of your cat, feed them a high quality food, not too many treats, and take them for regular vet visits. Barring accidents, this should help your kitty stay in tip-top shape!

Outdoor cats have a less chance of living up to 3 to 5 years but indoor cats have a higher chance of living up to 15 to 20+ years. Ultimately it depends on the health of the individual cat, how it is cared for and what its environment is.

Cats may live up to around ten years in the wild depending on its environment. A well cared for house cat generally has a life expectancy of fifteen years, some lucky ones live past twenty, and there have been a very few cases of cats living past thirty.

In general, cats will die between the ages of 8-13, or around 15-18 if they've had excellent medical care. The rule seems to be that if they live past 15 there's no telling! The oldest cat ever recorded was 34.

Once a cat turns 15, you should start preparing yourself for health problems related to old age, or for the worst (death.) With a good vet and some luck, though, you may have another ten years with your cat! I recently had a cat die at the age of 23, and he was happy and healthy until the day he died.
