Cat Owner's Manual › Introduction ›A Cat's Life Span
Felines are generally quite long-lived, though mileage varies depending on owner maintenance and genetic predisposition. In a handful of documented cases, cats have exceeded 30 years in age.

Comments for This Page (4) | Post a CommentI have an orange Tabby and he is about 15-16 years old. He has a terrible case of gingivitis but is totally healthy otherwise. Next week he is going to have what teeth he has left all removed. The vet says that this clears it up, prompting me to go ahead with it as the vet says he may have as many as 5-10 years left since he is a strictly indoor cat. It makes me happy knowing that he could possibly be with me that much longer. Does anyone know what causes Pancreaitis in cats? Post a Comment for This Page

I imagine overweight cats have a shorter life expectancy. Always see a vet before putting your cat on a diet as cats can become ill if they lose weight too fast. Go very slow! :)
