Could be the type of pet, the breed, how they behave, their relationship…anything about the pet that informs you on their human.

    The majority of human beings live in urban areas where its ridiculously unsafe for cats. In the city every outdoor cat is either abandoned or feral and neither particularly long for this world.

    Outdoor cats live about 3-5 years, indoor cats live 10-20. Again shitty humans.

      Atomic family has amassed 60 years total working SPCA/Vet/etc . They can all confirm it’s that bad.

      That, as you implied, depends on the environment. In a safe rural setting, which are not as depopulated as one would think (would people complain of rural America for example if it was a drop in the bucket), it’s more like one to three years less than the average indoor cat.
