Answer 1

Sorry about your cat.  17 years is about the maximum age a well-cared for cat will live.  

Answer 2

17 is LONG for a cat.  

Answer 3

Agreed, cats can live for a very long time. 17&#039;s a solid age, I&#039;m sure she had a great run.

I&#039;m sorry about your cat.

Answer 4

17 is a good age for a cat.

Answer 5

I am very sorry to hear of your impending loss. I lost a beloved

cat in May she was 15 years old and was fine up to the day she

died. Kelly was my favourite cat. I still miss her and cry over her

a little when I see her toys. I had a cat that lived to 19. My girlfriend

has two cats which were litter mates which will be 22 in sept.

The oldest proven age for a cat was 32 years old.(the vet had its

records from when it was a kitten!) A 17 year old cat is a very long

lived cat. She would be like 105 years in human terms

Answer 6

well &quot;Skittles&quot;   is old and usually if she/he is and outdoors cat then they will run away and die b/c they dont want you to see them in a terrible state.  ever since i have been alive 2 of my cats have done that.   I love you Josie and Tabby!

Answer 7

She had a great life. Thats usually about as long as they live. My Aunt&#039;s cat lived to be about 20 thats the longest I have ever heard. I understand how this hurts so much I couldn&#039;t imagine losing my cat she is about 9 years old and the most loving cat I have ever seen. I&#039;m sorry to hear that she is slipping away.

Answer 8

Average life expectancy for and indoor kitty is between 12 and 15 years.  I am sorry for your loss!! My thoughts are with you!

Answer 9

The figure I hear most often is 17-20 if not cut short by accident or disease, though that&#039;s of course an average. My parents&#039; cat is 20 and still kicking, but some cats just wear out physically faster.

17 is a respectable age. I&#039;m wondering what&#039;s leading you to believe she&#039;s dying, though? What problems is she having? You might want to take her to the vet to see if there&#039;s anything that can be done, at least to make her more comfortable if not to make her actually get better.

Sorry to hear she isn&#039;t doing well. That&#039;s really hard.

Answer 10

Your cat has lived an amazing, long life. I&#039;m so sorry that she is passing away! :(
