Generally speaking, pet cats can live for seven or eight years on average, and some special ones can live for more than 10 years. It can be said that if your pet cat has nothing to do all day, and goes out for a walk at night when it can eat and sleep, then if death is ruled out, it can basically live for more than 10 years. It can be said that cats generally live longer than dogs. Under the feeding conditions at home, if the nutrition is good and can keep up, plus a one-year physical examination, etc., the lifespan of a male cat can live up to 13 years. Live to 15 years. That is to say, male cats that have been neutered will generally live longer than male cats that have not been neutered. A pet cat reaches puberty when it is 2 years old; if it is 10 years old, the cat is entering old age, and at this time, it needs the careful care of the owner, so that your cat can live longer. Next, you can judge the age of the cat in the following points:
- Just look at the cat’s teeth. Generally speaking, kittens can grow deciduous teeth in about 3 weeks, and after 4 months, they can grow all the deciduous teeth, and in 9 months, they can grow permanent teeth. teeth up
- Just look at the wear and tear of the teeth. This method can only judge the age of the adult cat. At the age of 1, the cusps of its incisors will have slight wear; and at the age of 3 to 5 years, the teeth of the incisors will be slightly worn. The cusps are severely worn and aged; by the age of 7 to 8, the cusps will be flattened and rounded; after the age of 10, the teeth will fall out.
- Look at the hair condition. Generally, the kitten will grow new back hair after half a year. It can be calculated that it will be almost 6 months when the back hair is fully grown, and the cat’s hair will be very bright in 1 year. And soft, and after 5 years, the cat’s back hair will lose some gloss, and by the age of 7, the cat will grow a white beard, and after the age of 10, the hair will gradually darken, and it is still on the head. White hair grows on top and back. The lifespan of a cat is generally higher than that of a dog. After research by a research institute, we have come to the conclusion that the longevity of a cat is due to its character, and the secret of longevity is caused by a cat’s character that is arrogant and cold. .
For dogs, their offensive ability is still stronger than that of cats. Although cats are not as aggressive as dogs, cats are all agile and their ability to escape is incomparable to dogs. Cats still prefer solitary animals, which contributes to their withdrawn personality. We can also find that cats and cats are generally playful and rarely conflict. But dogs are different. They are always beaten, and there will be some physical injuries, and they will suffer from diseases for a long time. So the cat’s character is the reason for its longevity.
