The average lifespan of a male cat is about 13 to 15 years, while that of a female cat is 15 to 17 years. Lifespans also vary between breeds; for example, Ragdolls, American Shorthairs, Siamese, and Maine Coons have an average lifespan of 10 to 20 years. Under certain conditions, cats can even live past 20 years.
A cat's lifespan is influenced by a variety of factors, including breed, living conditions, whether it has been spayed/neutered, diet quality, and medical care. Proper feeding, regular deworming and vaccinations, a good living environment, and appropriate exercise all contribute to extending a cat's lifespan.
