How long do cats live

Cats have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years, and some cats can live to be about 20 years old. The length of a cat's life span is greatly influenced by genes and is also related to the cat's breed, living environment and the cat's health condition. As people love and value cats and adopt more scientific feeding methods, it usually also leads to longer life span of cats.

The lifespan of cats is related to congenital factors

Generally speaking the smaller the size of the pet the longer the life span, and cats are among the smaller animals that live longer. The cats also have better living habits and fewer senior problems, so they generally have a longer life span.
Some breeds of cats are affected by genetic factors and have a relatively short life span. Short-legged cats such as the Mankikon may pass away early due to multiple arthritis. Due to inbreeding, Siamese cats can have genetic defects of folded or curled tails, and the chances of other genetic problems are greatly increased.
In fact, hereditary diseases in cats are not terrible, and not all cats are necessarily ill. As long as you pay more attention to the usual feeding process, do not deliberately scare cats, do unnecessary training, and send them to the doctor in time if they are ill, you do not need to worry too much. Cats in their young and strong years die mainly due to fights, jumping and other accidental causes.

The life span of cats is related to scientific feeding in later life

In addition to the genetic aspect and the cat's own health status, the cat's life expectancy is directly related to its living environment, living conditions, psychological and emotional conditions, as well as feeding habits and the cat's physical factors.

Choosing a scientific feeding method can also extend the life span of the cat to a certain extent. The average life expectancy of a cat will be longer if the cat is well cared for and fed, and it is not a problem to reach more than 10 years. After de-sexing, cats will live 1-2 years longer and are less likely to develop diseases of the reproductive system in old age. Cats that are physically weak will also live longer if they are well cared for and treated promptly for illness.
Cats kept indoors generally live longer than those kept outdoors, which may be related to the fact that outdoor cats are exposed to a more complex environment and face higher risks. Domesticated cats generally live longer than stray cats. Domesticated cats have more food and are cared for by their owners, so they are less likely to suffer from stress and can avoid many injuries caused by fights and battles.
The owner usually allows the cat to play with proper exercise, a balanced diet, and provides it with a comfortable living environment as a way to improve its quality of life and life time.

Why cats run out when they die

Cats don't want to upset their owners, very spiritual pets. Because cats have feelings for their owners and don't want them to be sad, they will find a place by themselves when they are about to die where their owners can't find them and quietly wait for death, that place is usually very secretive and hard to find even for their owners. If the family lives in a bungalow, the cat will generally look for the nearby eaves or the corner of the alley and other less crowded places, the owner will have to look carefully in the small place that can just accommodate the cat, generally will not be in their own home. If you live in a condominium, the cat may be hiding in the grass in the community garden and other places, and some can not find a suitable place and run far away. The home is really high, and there is no other way for the cat to go out, he is likely to hide in the sofa or under the bed. Cats do not want their owners to know that they are leaving, so if you do find your cat, don't act sad in front of him. By the way, if a cat is not good with its owner, it will just find a place to lie down and wait for death.
