Expert Answer

A cat with cartilage disease generally lives about 10 years, with the exact span tied to its condition and care. The disease cannot be cured, so the owner controls it with medication; with good care some such cats live 15 years. Early on, joint pain appears, and the owner can give chondroitin to ease it.
