Re: Falling over..


Awww....veteran cats are just so layed back about life me thinks. Lucky took all the tests in her stride and never grumbled once and still happily let the vet have a cuddle afterwards

Apparantly 13 is the average - I was shocked too I would have thought more 15/16..

Yes I have heard that the average lifespan for a cat is 13.

Re: Falling over..


I'd have said 15-16 too and I think they are so laid back because they have seen everything at least once before.

Re: Falling over..


I saw a Burns nutrition leaflet which said the avarage lifespan for cats was now 20 years. Now whether that is for babies born today, rather than those born 20 years ago, who knows?
It must be incredibly hard to estimate anyway, when you think how many are lost early due to road accidents, how many 'move house', leaving their original owners unaware of what has happened etc etc.
I have lost 3 cats to old age, all in their late teens but my current pair at 15 and 17 don't appear to be contemplating turning their toes up yet (hopefully!)
