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.
