Living inside keeps them safe from cars, dogs, predators, and many types of illness. However, obesity can sometimes be a problem for indoor cats, and their diets must be monitored to prevent this. Periodic vet checkups help insure health and long life for your companions. It is not unusual for an indoor cat to live for 15 or 20 years.
How do you know how long a cat has been dead?
When a creature (of any kind) dies, certain processes take place in its body. Its blood is no longer being pumped through its veins, and so coagulates (clots), eventually drying up completely. As the blood dries the creatures muscles contract and stiffen. This process is called Rigor Mortis. It causes the body to go stiff, hence the slang name for corpses. The process of Rigor Mortis in humans can take several hours to complete, depending on the persons condition before they died, and the reason for their death. In smaller animals it generally happens faster, as there is less blood to dry up. A cats body will usually be stiff as a board within an hour. The rigidity will give some indication as to how long the cat has been dead. If the cat has not been dead long enough for Rigor Mortis to set in you can estimate its time of death by the temperature of its body. A body this size may remain warm to the touch for around 30-45 minutes. After Rigor Mortis has set it becomes harder to determine a time of death, and the methods of doing so become increasingly complex and expensive. Proceedures such as these require a trained pathologist or mortician and a sterile laboratory. Another method that is used for bodies after a few days is to look at whether there are any fly eggs, larvae(maggots), pupae or evidence of these hatching. Each of these stages has a known timeframe (that may be temperature dependent).
