I have a domestic shorthair, and a domestic medium hair. They mostly live indoors, but go outside occasionally. How long do you think the will live?

The average life expectancy of a cat is 15-20 years but some cats have lived well into their 20s.

I have a domestic shorthair who is 17 and going strong. He still likes to play! While growing up I had a Siamese who lived to 20.

Cats can live for along time There was a cat that lived until he was 29 years old My mothers cat lived to see21 so with lots of TLC and luck your cat could live a long long life, Note: My mothers cat never went outdoors Strickly a indoor cat.
Good luck and hope he lives a long healthy life

It depends on if the cat has any health problems.
My aunt and uncle have a Siamese that's over 20 years old. My grandma had a cat that was put down at 19.

a cat of that breed that goes outside normally lives from around 13-20 years.

I had a female lived to be 21. Then I had another female that died just today. She was only 10. Both were inside cats.

Depending on the owners care they can live to their late teens and I had a friend who had a cat for 21 years.

they can live up to 18 years if they are strictly indoor and desexed and vaccinated , if they go outside well that decreases their chances of long term survival,hit by cars,attacked by teenagers,fights with other fiv infected cats. keep em indoors only it's safer for them.
