The average life span of a house cat that lives indoors, but goes outside is about the same as a house cat the lives outdoors and goes inside.

They CAN live 20 years or even a little past that. I've had cats that lived to 17 years. I would say the average is 15.

I had five cats that live between 12 and 18/19 years. Lots of love and treating them properly means a long life for cats.

Well, I had one who lived for 18 years. Another of ours is 12. With proper care I would say an average is about 12-14 years.

I Haven't Really Gone Through Any Deaths Yet With My Cats... But, My Grandma's Cats Died When They Were *Fifteen* ... And, My Aunts Cat Just Died A Few Weeks Ago, And He Was Around *Thirteen - Fourteen* ...
So, I Guess Between *Thirteen - Sixteen* ...

The average lifespan is 13-14 years. Did you know, that the longest lifespan ever claimed, for a domestic cat is 36 years old?

I just think that it is up to the cat. I mean there are medical reasons a cat wouldn't live long. I know someone who's cat is and indoor/outdoor and he is 16 years old. Some things just live forever.
