A cat’s average lifespan is 15–18 years; as veterinary care improves, more cats pass 20. Indoor cats generally live longer than strays, with better food and quicker help when ill.
Neutered males usually outlive intact ones, while an unspayed female often outlives a male — but spaying/neutering overall supports a longer, healthier life.
