    into their teens and older if cared for very well. I had one die last summer who was 22 years old. it can also depend on the breed. One site I looked at claimed they live 7-10 years which means most of the cats I had should have died a long time ago.

    The average is 15 but it can depend on the breed and genetics. Diet and healthcare can make a lot of difference indoor cats live longer.
