The average life expectancy for male indoor cats at birth is around 12 to 14 years,with females usually living a year or two longer. However, there have been reports of cats reaching into their 30s,with the oldest known cat, Creme Puff, dying at a verified age of 38.Feline life expectancy has increased significantly in recent decades.Having a cat neutered or spayed confers some health benefits, since castrated males cannot develop testicular cancer, spayed females cannot develop uterine or ovarian cancer, and both have a reduced risk of mammary cancer.The lifespan of feral cats is hard to determine accurately, although one study reported a median age of 4.7 years, with a range between 0 to 8.3 years.
