How long do cats live?

Cats are living longer than ever. With improvements in nutrition and veterinary medicine including vaccines and therapeutic agents, cats are living to over 15 years of age and in some cases over 20 years of age. Life expectancy depends on many things, including one important factor - whether your cat is an indoor-only cat or an outdoor cat.

Uniqueness of cat

And here are some of the uniqueness of cats that you might not know about before:

• Cats sleep the longest among other animals, about 16 hours.
• When a cat is 6 months old, it is equivalent to 10 years of human age.
• Mustache in cats is very sensitive and can feel even small changes in air pressure. This ability allows the cat to use it as an alternative guide to move in the dark when he cannot see.
• Cats have been associated with human life for at least 3500 years ago.
• A female cat can give birth to 20,736 kittens in four years.

And many more uniqueness of cats.

Cat is said to be more active in meowing as a sign that he feels frustrated or part of his response to learn to adapt to the new environment. House cats are far more independent when faced with unusual situations.

Even so, just like dogs, cats can still build closeness with their owners. It's just that cats are much more independent and able to survive even without the supervision of their owners.

Celia Haddon, a cat expert, said cats do not always depend on humans. But that does not mean they do not like being given affection.

"Cats are not a group animal, they do not depend on other cats, which means they also do not depend on their owners. But this does not mean they do not want to be around the owner. Of course they also like to be given attention." she said.

Furthermore Celia said, even if abandoned, cats will not seek human protection if they feel scared. Cats will hide or even leave a place that makes them uncomfortable.

Although cats are independent animals and are able to survive well, it does not mean they do not need to be considered by their owners. Of course as an owner you still have to take care and look after your pet cat as well as possible.
