from the humane society web site:

"The estimated average life span of a free-roaming cat is less than three years-compared to 15-18 years for the average indoor-only cat."

Answer

Anywhere from birth to about 20 or 25 human years depending on the cats health, past records, and how well it is bein gtreated now!

Answer

In captivity, indoor cats typically live 14 to 20 years, though the oldest-known cat lived to age 36. Domestic cats tend to live longer if they are not permitted to go outdoors (reducing the risk of injury from fights or accidents and exposure to diseases) and if they are spayed or neutered. Neutered male cats cannot develop testicular cancer, spayed female cats cannot develop ovarian cancer and both have a reduced risk of mammary cancer.

Answer

Our cat lived to be 18 human years old. He was both inside and outside the house. He just passed this last week.
