Although the average life-span of a domestic cat is roughly 15 years depending on where you are, cats have been known to live up to 20 years with some even living beyond that.

However, outdoor unneutered male domesticated cats have a much shorter average life span of about 4-6 years.

Accidents such as road traffic accidents, illnesses etc can sometimes take the life of a much loved cat.

Steps can be take to prevent this happening by neutering males to stop them wandering, keeping an indoor cat or using a cat lead if you live near a busy road, ensuring that your cat is kept well fed with the right kind of foods, provided with clean water, given their immunisation shots and being taken to the vet for treatment if they get ill.
