How long do average tabby cats live? My cat is 15 years old in people years. Which means he’s like 105 in cat years! He doesn’t really act any different from when I got him!

Inside cats usually live 14 years, outside cats less. Some breeds (tabby is just a color pattern, not a breed) last longer than that. The cat’s genetics and what kind of veterinary care he gets determine how old he will get. One of my friends had a cat that lived to 22 years, and he was just a normal barn cat.

Cats have a healthy lifespan of around 12-20 years. Depending on the quality of life and whether they are indoor or outdoor cats, their lifespans can be greatly affected. Most outdoor cats have a shorter lifespan due to the fact that they come in contact with more viruses, have a rougher life, cars, dogs, etc. If you have an indoor cat, keep an eye on obesity for a healthier lifestyle.

I would say that they live up to about around 20 years or so.

13 years on average. An indoor cat that is well cared for may live longer, up to 20 years.

Congratulations on being a responsible and caring cat owner. I’ve known them to live for up to 25 years (indoor only cat) Make sure you keep feeding him a good diet and get him regular vet checkups and your friend could be with you for a good long while.

I have an orange tabby that I love to death who is going on 17 this July. Cats can live upwards around 20-21 years if they don’t suffer from any health problems. I have had two cats though that have died in their 13-15th year from kidney failure and hyper thyroid, which are quite common and deadly health problems for cats.
