Monica asked:
so my cat is a normal tabby cat..nine years old now..but hes always been a big cat ever since we got him and has always had flab hanging from his belly. hes always seemed like a healthy cat until a few years ago he got a urinary tract infection that he got terribly sick from, nearly death..but i tried very hard to nurse him back to health by force feeding him to get him to gain an appetite back…then he finally got better and better and after all that he got back to being just like he always was, acted just as young…and gained most of his weight back. now a few years later hes just as great only lately hes been sleeping in unusual places and acting a little different..like trying to eat my food (?) and things like that. Hes 9 now. im just wondering how long hes going to live because hes one of my favorite things in the world and im very scared to lose him.
anyone know the average cat life span to a cat similar to mine?
