Most definitely! My childhood cat, a black & white moggie, lived to 23.
Yes, 18 years is old for a cat but cats tend to live longer than dogs. If your cat does not appear to be in pain and has not lost a lot of weight, you can consider yourself very lucky to still have him or her.
It's not unusual for most breeds of domestic cat to live to around 15-18 years on average. That works out at about 105-126 cat years. At the lower end of the scale there are certain breeds that are lucky to live to 10 (70 cat years), and at the top end, some individual cats have been known to reach 25 (175 cat years). Any cat that lives past 20 (140 cat years) is doing very well!
Yes. A cat that is 15 years old would be around 80 years old in human years. Some cats live to be 17 or 18 years old (85 to 90 in human years), or even longer. I think the Guinness World Record for longest-living cat was 25 years (something like that). See the Related Link below for a Cat Age Calculator.
A domestic cat can live with the disease FIV for several years.
If you take proper care of the cat then it should live for a while. Yes, some cats have lived longer than 16 years. Most cats live to be around 18 years of age before they die.
I'd say no. It has never been done before. Cats normally live to be 9-15. If a cat were 100 in human years than in cat years they would be about 420 years old, which is not even possible for a human.
well if the cat is an indoor only cat they can live to about 20 years tops but if its a indoor outdoor or only outdoor cat then probably 10 or 15 years.
A well cared for cat that is kept indoors and is fed a good nutritional diet would be expected to live for about 15 years. Some cats do live to 20+ years and there are records of a few cats reaching over 30 years. These sort of ages for a cat are very much the exception however.
The average lifespan for an indoor only cat is 15-18 years. For an outdoor cat or an indoor outdoor housecat, it is only 3 years. This is due to more exposure to disease, infection, cars, and preditors. Feral cats rarely live to be 3 years old.
A cat is considered a senior at 7+ years of age.
