Cats have been documented to live over 30 years; in the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest cat is 34-36 years. In human years a 30-year-old cat is over 130, and a 34-36-year-old cat is between 150-160. In Scotland, a cat is reported to have lived to be over 40 years old.
The average domestic cat lives 14 years, and mixed-bred cats live longer than purebred. Feral cats live about half as long as domestic cats because they have more fights, accidents, illnesses, predators, and food shortages. Cats can continue to breed even in their senior years. Twenty-year old cats have reared kittens. In human years, a cat that is 20 is about 95 years old.
So for you that keep saying that you dont know what to do take to a vet get some help for child(en)

My vet says that she's seeing more and more 20 to 22 year old cats in her clinic. They're living long lives if given proper care and nutrition.

Both our cats were 17-1/2 yrs old when they died, but for a cat to live over 20 is pretty extraordinary most cats live 15 years maximum.

I beg to differ - a particular purebred cat on average lives longer than the average mixed-breed cat: Siamese cats generally live 18-21 years.
Beyond that, most purebred cats live as long as the average mixed breed cat. In fact, most people take better care of purebred animals in general, as they have paid money for them and it puts more value on them in their minds, & they never let them roam.
And feral cats (domestic cats living in the streets with no owner) generally do not live to see 3 years of age.

I think it all depends on how much love and attention you give a cat.
