I have a couple cats one is 14 and one is 12 and they seem very very healthy still.
But being realistic, how much longer can I expect?
They are treated like the princesses they are and are constantly and disgustingly showered in love and hugs and kisses.

As with most things, the lifespan depends on the level of care given to them. The average is about 16 years for an indoors only cat. Its a little shorter for outdoor cats, because they have a higher stress level, and you cant control what they eat. If your cats are in good health now though, I'm sure you can expect many more happy years out of them!

most cats have the lifespan of 15 16 years if the stay in good health. They should be spay or neutered and live inside. Iv'e seen a bunch of 16 year old cats, If they live their expected life span about 3 to 5 years more years

It depends on the cat. I have one male cat right now that's about 16 or 17 years old. We also had a cat a few years ago that died from old age that was about 20 years old. So they can live a long time especially if they are well taken care of.

The natural lifespan of a domestic cat is about 15 years.

I think the average is between 12 and 18 years old. Some cats go into their 20's if lucky and healthy.
