How long do cats live?

[christy]

I've found probably around 15 years is a ripe old age for cats. Some cats, depending on their genetic health, live longer, and some less.

i don't know what's 'normal' but my cat lived till she was 18.

Yeah it all depends on their health. If they are always relatively healthy they will live to be quite old. My mums cat is 13 this year and hes started to slow down, hes going a bit senile gets lost in the house and hes very cuddly too. Hes siamese so while they are already very affecionate hes even more so.

I would tend to agree with you Tinks. Had a cat as a littl girl and she died at around 20yrs old.
I have a rag doll cat and she is an indoor cat only and has been from a kitten and is showing no signs of age. She is 14yrs old.

My cousin's cat was a farm cat and he lived until he was 22

Our little puss is 15 years old and going strong. Well, she's a bit more bossy & demanding and a little less active but still enjoying life.

Our Kitty will be 18 in Dec. No grey hairs even. She sleeps a lot and eats a lot, but she still likes to do the mad dash from the litter tray to the other end of the house after going. Still enjoying the pleasures of life!

My stepmums mothers cat is about 20. But he's a bit ricketty when he walks, but still plenty happy!
