Cats live in a wide range of times, but the most simple way to explain this (note: it may be different depending on the on the specific breed) the larger the cat the less years it will live. The average tabby "mut" cat will live 9 to 15 years. The Maine Coon (a large breed) lives an average of 7, although i have seen Maine Coons live up to 12, maybe older.

What is the difference between a kitten and a cat?

In some ways yes, some main differences are... Big cats walk with their tails inbettween their legs while domestic cats have there tail in the air. You can cuddle a domestic cat but if I where you I wouldn't try that with a big cat. Big cats don't 'miow' or necesserilly 'hiss' or purr. They roar and while young make kind squeally noises to their mother. It is very difficult to teach a big cat how to behave.
