CATDOLL : What is the average lifespan of a cat?

The average lifespan of a cat is 12-15 years, but the lifespan of individual cats can vary greatly depending on factors such as the cat's breed, living habits, and living environment. If a cat has a good living environment, eats regularly, and gets enough nutrition, it will live longer. If basic tasks such as vaccination, deworming, physical examination, cleaning, and disinfection are done very well, the chance of a cat getting sick will be reduced, and its lifespan will be greatly increased. Domestic cats have more food, are cared for by their owners, and are less likely to be stressed. They can also avoid many injuries caused by fighting, and their lifespan will be longer than that of stray cats.

Ways to extend your cat's lifespan:

1. If you have a cat, you should take it for regular checkups. It is recommended that kittens have a checkup twice a year, adult cats have a checkup once a year, and senior cats have a checkup twice a year. The items for the physical examination will be different for cats at different stages.

2. Cats over 6 weeks old can be dewormed regularly, with external deworming performed every 1 to 2 months and internal deworming performed every 3 to 4 months.

3. You can use a cat teaser to tease the cat, reward it with some snacks appropriately, and buy some interesting toys for the cat to increase the cat's exercise at home.

4. Make sure to give your cat water regularly. The more water a cat drinks, the healthier it will be. As long as cats drink more water, it can reduce the burden on their kidneys, which will reduce the possibility of diseases such as urinary stones and cystitis.
