How old do cats live?

How old do cats live?
They can live for a while if they are well taken care of. I have seen a cat up to 21 yrs old.
Vet tech 5 yrs
Most cats that are indoors and neutered and vaccinated that have good veterinary care and dental care all their lives can live to their late teens. I know of a 22 year old cat, and the world's oldest cat is in Russian and is 32. Most elderly kitties get kidney disease or cancer. Always feed your kitty the best cat food you can afford, and get it regular veterinary care. Always get your cat neutered or spayed, and if you keep it indoors, it will live a lot longer than a cat who is let outside and has to tangle with other animals and cars, not to mention some people who can be horrible to animals, esp. if they think they're strays.
Depending on diet, exercise, and the conditions your cat lives in, they could live for 10-20 years, assuming they aren't exposed to any illnesses or diseases.

Having a healthy (and not fat) cat is the most important factor that will determine how long they live.

If you feed them dry food, make sure the first ingredient listed is chicken or some other kind of meat and not corn or some other filler. That is important because if you feed your cat the right food, they will live longer.
