Best Answer

This varies a great deal depending on whether your cat is allowed outdoors. In places where there are coyotes and raccoons, the average life span of a cat who spends time outdoors is about four years. A cat kept indoors seems to have an average life span of fourteen years, although some cats do live to 25 or more.
