How long do cats live and why
How to find out how long cats live at home?
Of course, a lot depends on the care. And care is a very personal concept.
A cat can have a personal character.
Even with proper care, all sorts of little things start to happen - a bad environment at home, illnesses of the owners, etc.
Life of cats
Not everything depends on us. But the owner's contribution to the cat's life is also very important. There is a simple interesting fact. One cat year is 7 normal human years.
To compare a cat's age with a human's, you need to multiply its age by this indicator. Then you will understand how long cats live in comparison with humans.
The following can be said about the age of cats:
up to 5 years old is a young age.
up to 10 years – average age.
10-15 years is normal.
From 15 to 30 years old – long-livers.
Why shouldn't a cat live long? They adapt well. They have a flexible psyche. They know how to find owners and influence them psychologically.
They have a guarantee of health - a flexible spine. They have strong natural stimulation, since it is much more difficult for a predator in the wild than for a cat at home.
Much depends on the conditions. A cat needs company. There is no need to talk about a crowd. But sudden loneliness is a strong stress for them.
They also need a sense of stability. They can be impudent, but if the owner abandons them, they suffer seriously, as if they were brought in to endure whims.
After 8 years, the cat's fertility drops. But their desire to reproduce is strong.
