As we all know, the lifespan of a cat is definitely determined by a combination of nature and nurture. A good and stable living environment, including high-quality nutrition, adequate exercise and regular health check-ups can maximize the life of a cat.

The innate factors mainly depend on genes. Interestingly, during the long-term process of breed fixation, the genes of each breed of cat have some own characteristics. Some breeds may have a higher prevalence of disease or health problems, which may shorten a cat's lifespan. Hybrid breeds may also have a greater chance of extending their lifespan, thus broadening the gene pool. Some breeds have been found through long-term observation to be more likely to live longer than other breeds of cats.

The above are the ten. Cats are the most likely to live long. There are also some breeds with a shorter average lifespan. For example, the Isle of Man cat has an average lifespan of about 8 to 14 years, and the average lifespan of a Singaporean cat is about 9 to 15 years. If you raise these breeds, you must make psychological expectations in advance. Finally, I hope everyone’s cats will stay with you in good health for a long time.
