Reply #41: cat ages

[SPedigrees]

----Plus, indoor cats live 18 years; outdoor cats live about 3-4 years.

Must be no one told my 4 indoor outdoor cats that. They lived to be 17, 23, 21 and 22... and my current kitty is doing well and still hunting at 16.

To be honest I did have one who died at the young age of 10 after being injured by a horse, so that does bring the average down a little bit. But you have to figure in that if I'd had the extra work of continual kitty litter changing I could not have adopted so many cats during my lifetime, and some might have died at young ages in a shelter.
