How long can Persian cats live?

Answer 1

Like humans it's about genetics and animals can have health issues and live only a short time, but the average for a Persian is the same as most cats ... 15 - 16 years, but many will live to be 20 years old if they are a house cat. I had a cat who was just turning 21 when she had to be put to sleep and she was a black Persian.

Persians are also known for having kidney problems. If you have a Persian make sure to give him/her fresh water at least daily and ensure that they are hydrated to prevent accelerated kidney complications.

Answer 2

Persian cats are cats, and should have much the same life span as other cats -- typically about 18 years, possibly as long as 25, or about 4 years (on average) if they are allowed outdoors. Any pure breed, however, will be prone to hereditary illnesses, as the cats are often bred to near relations to "lock in" desirable characteristics at the cost of possibly weakening the cat's constitution or producing a few unviable (stillborn) kittens. Expect a slightly shorter life span on average for any pure bred cat.

Answer 3

Persian cats can live up to 30 years, which is almost impossible, but it is true. Usually cats live from 15 to 36 years.

Answer 4

The life span of a Persian cat is about 15 years.

Answer 5

Cats live up to about 15 years.... Depends on their health condition! A cat who lives indoors and kept in a high-class position is likely to also live upto about 21 years.
