Indoor only, well cared for cats routinely reach their late teens. I believe the record is 27. Around ten a cat reaches middle age, and slows down somewhat, but will continue to be involved in their environment and open to new experiences. Much older than that, cats often have difficulties accepting a new kitten if they are an only cat. However, cats who are used to multiple cat environments will be more accepting, especially if there are younger cats in the household who can take up kitten duties and absorb the extra energy. At fifteen chronic problems can crop up, but this can be avoided or ameliorated by feeding a low carb diet (what the cat is designed to digest,) being judicious about immunizations (indoor cats without a lot of exposure to the outside world can go years between immunity boosters,) and keeping up with vet checks to catch problems early. Also make sure the cat is drinking enough; old age kidney disease can be avoided by making sure water is offered in a way the cat likes. Drinking fountains, turning on the tap for the cat, and using glass bowls that don't impart odors to the water are all ways to keep the cat hydrated. Canned food not only is low in carbohydrates, which cats cannot digest, but get more water into the cat, as well. As the cat nears old age, they can have problems with food absorption, and might need help getting their nutrients. Adding a nutritional supplement with brewer's yeast or adding vitamins to the cat's food can help. Cats need continuous monitoring at all stages of their life, but especially as they get older, since they tend to hide their illnesses and won't show signs until they are quite sick. Keeping track of the cat's normal routine, and noting deviations from it, will let the responsible pet parent give their cat a happy, long, life.
