Outdoor cats don't have the long life expectancy that indoor cats do. That is because they are in more danger from cars, other animals, and other elements including the weather. I had a indoor cat that was 20 years old. My vet told me that the average outdoor cat lives about 8 years.

Given proper care, nutrition, and regular veterinary visits, a cat kept indoors can live as long as 21 years or more. (The average age of cats is 12-15 years) This is, of course, barring any serious medical conditions.
Cats that are indoors-outdoors usually don't last to the the average age because of traffic accidents, fighting with other cats, intentional acts of violence, poisoning (accidental or intentional), diseases caught from other cats, being picked up by animal control and subsequently euthanized if not claimed, and death caused by predators.
"Stray cats" AKA "feral cats" usually don't live more than a couple of years because of starvation or all of the above.

Cats' natural lives are usually anywhere from 8 to 20 years.

My other cat lived for 20 odd years. But seeing a cat age
is like watching a human grow old.
