I've never heard that a Siamese has longer or shorter to live than most breeds. So my answer to this is: outdoor cats have an average of 10 years to live. This is because they can catch a lot more things that affect their health and also do to deaths by cars, or dogs... not to be brutal but those are the facts.
If your cat is an indoor cat, the average life expectancy is 18 years old. That is, if you keep on top of their shots and give them lots of attention and affection.
From personal experience, I had 2 Siamese growing up, one unfortunately jumped out of a high window and did not land on his feet at the age of 9 and the momma cat made it to 17. She suffered from kidney failure and we had to put her down. Both wonderful cats though.

The average life span of a Siamese cat is 18 years as long as it keeps out of too much danger.

I've heard of Siamese cats living as long as 25 years, but the breed may be deteriorating from too much futzing with it now. It mainly depends on how well it's taken care of, but they seem to live the longest of most cat breeds.

Around 16 or 17 years.

They will live to be about 15-18, thats if they are properly looked after with a balanced diet. Look back the breeders papers to make sure there isnt any inbreeding as this can cause genetic defects such as cardiomyopathy, cancers etc. My mother used to breed the critters up til a few years back, and one of her's live til it was 17.

My neutered male apple-head Siamese died at age twelve of mammary cancer.

He had been on a home-made raw meat diet (with supplements) for about five years. His coat was beautiful and his body well-toned and muscular. He weighed twelve pounds (had been up to 16 lbs. at one time) and had no recurrance of urinary problems he had when he was about four.

LOL, on some of the "normal" answers! I have had siamese for 30 years, usually a pair at a time, all indoor cats, a total of 9 cats. First one, female seal point, lived to 14, kidney failure, due to Science Diet cat food. 2nd 2,neutered seal point males out of the same litter, same thing, same day,only they made it to 17. #3 , lynx point, made it to 3, he ate his way out of a screened window and decided to play tag with traffic. #4, seal point, was eaten by my ex's lab at 1 yr old, (he didn't think his dog was cat aggressive, they played fine when we were watching them for 3 months.) Also, hence, the "EX" part! #5 was a mix-breed flame point polydactyl barn kitten who showed up as a gift (poor replacement)fe-leuk-positive, and died on the table during neutering at 6 months old. went 2 yrs with no cats, then was given a pair of wild flame point 6 month old sisters(6 & 7), who never came out from under the bed, except to pee on my couch. After my 4 yr old son cornered one of them, and she tore half his arm off escaping, they were relocated to a friend's barn, and are doing well. #8 is a seal point male, 4 yrs old,doing well, except for his "eating his food as fast as possible, then puking it back up all over the house-problem".(recently moved to a house with all wood floors, easier to clean with kids and pets!) and #9 is a flame point male 3 yr old with some wild "throwback-hunting-gene", he keeps bringing me presents...old farm house, lots of mice...

So, to answer your question, they'll live as long as conditions will let them, as long as you feed good food that's not full of chemical poisons, and have no dogs around that might think of them as a snack, Steel screens, no kids, get them before something else traumatizes them, and hope for the best! My experience has been that the males are more affectionate, and tolerant of children, females I have had tend to have had bonding issues, and have been generally aggressive to strangers and kids.(First one did a flying attack on Grandpa, from the other side of the room, and he had never met her before, but it was funny to see the look on his face!)
