minus-square4lan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agomy grandmothers cat lived into it’s mid 20s. it was so active until the end, you really couldnt tell it was that old
minus-squarefrosch@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·4 months agoYea, they can live pretty long. It’s mostly the dangers out there (cars, people, poison, other animals) that shorten the lifespan drastically. That’s why indoor cats have a longer lifespan on average. Also, the kidneys… keep an eye on them and your cat should do pretty well for a long time
minus-squareMyNameIsRichard@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up7·4 months agoThey can live longer than that. One of mine lived to 21 years and the worlds oldest cat is almost unbelievable

minus-squareColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up13·4 months agoA lot of cats will make it to 20. Its the upper end of average, even. The oldest confirmed living cat is like 27. The real unbelievable one is that according to guineas records, the oldest cat ever was a whopping 38 years old, out of Austin Texas. 1967 to 2005.
minus-squareSkyezOpen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 months agoGood to hear. We have a pair of sisters pushing 14 and still going strong. They’re part Maine coin and fluffy as hell so we joke that they’re too majestic to ever die.
