Well that depends.It depends on the care the cat is given,I mean a cat that lives on the street usually don't get to live more than a couple of years.A domestic cat however can live for a very long time(I know cat's that are over 20 years old) but still,it depends on the owner.If you take care of your cat,don't let it get out of the house,go to the vet to get it's shots every year and make sure it doesn't come in contact with stray dogs and cats(which carry all the diseases your cat can catch even if it has had all of it's shots,like FIP) your cat can live a long and healthy life.
I estimate that my cat(now 4) will live for at least 12-15 years and that's the worse case senario in my mind.

If it is a house-cat, then 12-15 years. That's what a vet will tell you. My cat, passed away when she was 21 years old.... It depends on
- how strong the cat is
- if she has a health problem or not
If it's an outdoor cat, then it depends on how lucky it is!!!!

depends on whether it is an indoor or outdoors cat.
Indoors cats typically live longer than outdoor cats.
I think the average is 9-15 years but of course some cats can live longer while other cats unfortunately die younger.

they say that a cat has nine lives, but when you think about it, how long is a piece of string
