Cats live on average of between 10 to 16 years but some cats have lived to 20 years.
My Grandma has a cat that lived to be 25 years old which is rare but if the cat is kept healthy and fed properly then sometimes a cat can live up to 25 years.
Just like humans can outlive their life expectancy cats and dogs can do so as well.
But you can expect your cat to live at least 10 to 16 years with proper care.
If the cat lives in the wild the cat may only live from 2 years to 8 years but sometimes they may live longer.
A cat that lives in the wild could be killed and eaten by some other animal or the cat may get run over by a vehicle and killed.
Cat's that live indoors mostly usually live longer than outdoor cats.
