New to me that cats can live 20 years!
Yea, they can live pretty long. It’s mostly the dangers out there (cars, people, poison, other animals) that shorten the lifespan drastically.
That’s why indoor cats have a longer lifespan on average.
Also, the kidneys… keep an eye on them and your cat should do pretty well for a long time
They can live longer than that. One of mine lived to 21 years and the worlds oldest cat is almost unbelievable
I hope my boy Biscuit does https://urda.social/tags/biscuit
