2 q's what does your cat weigh & how long do they live

we weighed emily the othernight she is 1 & she is a puggie 15 LBs

taz is going to be 12 this july so this is why I was wondering on what a normal age is for cats living my mom had her cats put down at 17 & 18 but they could no ,.longer see eat or hold there movements
taz weights 19 LBS

 

Jazz :9lbs 5yrs old
Caesar: 8.5lbs 9 mnts old
Romeo: 8lbs 9mnths old

My first cat Candy lived til 13..so im not too sure about average ages...and i know that weights sometimes depend on the breed of the cat..like maine coons weigh a lot more than say a siamese.

 

I've heard of cats living to 20 + yrs old. I think 15 - 18 yrs is the general life span for cats but I'm not positive. I've only recently weighed Bean but I'll try to remember what the others weighed last time I weighed them.

Tiddy - 15 lbs, 8yrs old (next month)
Bean - 17 lbs, 5 yrs old (next month)
Hoggle - 8 lbs, 4 yrs old
Rhiannon - 13 lbs - 3yrs old
Chieve - 9 lbs, 3yrs old
Bella - 13 lbs, 3yrs old
Richie - 6 lbs., 8 months old

P.S. All of my cats are overweight except Hoggle, Chieve and Richie. Bean is my largest cat...he should really only weigh 12-13 lbs.

 

Kyrre is 7 months and almost 9 lbs.. I guess he'll be a big boy :wink:

 

pepe is 8kg and growing. so thats about 17 lbs? pheobe is 4kg, so 8 lbs? the only cat i personally knew that has died lived to about 20.

 

I had a neighbor's cat that was 18 and still going strong :mrgreen:

Pumpkin- 13 lbs, 10 years old
Monty- 14lbs, 8 years old
Milo- 12 lbs, 4 years old
Rene- 13 lbs, 2 years old in April

Pooky- RIP 2 years old (Renal Failure)
Vene- RIP 3 years old (hit and run)
Kitty_ RIP 14 years old (history of car accident)

 

why does it seem my jazz is underweight..lol

 

ollie - 6months - 5lbs

:m33: otis RIP 3/17/04 weighed about 8.5 lbs but never got over 9.5 in his life. he was almost twenty when he died.

max 10.3 lbs 1 year 1/17
christopher 10.5 lbs 2 years old
mikey 10.5 lbs 1.5 years

:m19: they all weigh almost exactly the same, believe it or not...i though chris would weigh alot more than max...he is very solid...but fairly lean. he feels heavier. i dont know for sure about mikey. he might be an 11 pounder now...hes a little porkier... :shock:

 

I had this all typed and Zeus sat on my mouse.

Missy will be 10 in July and she weighs maybe 6 lbs.
Tilly is 6 and she weighs about 8 lbs.
Zeus is 2 and he weighs 13 lbs.

Fat for a cat will shorten its lifespan. CRF, diabets are 2 health risks for overweight cats - also joint problems. Diet and exercise....cut back on feedings, maybe change over to a weight management food.
I had a CRF cat years ago who probably developed this from her size - Tami was a petite cat in a huge body. She also developed a heart murmur.
Here's a good way to determine if your cat needs a diet

Stewart is 5 years this March and he weighs 14 punds :m30:

 

My grandmother has 4 cats right now (3 are siblings) The sibling cats are 22 years old right now. One of them is pretty sick though.
She then has another cat that is about 4 years old.

My cats are:
Anna: 15 years old and 14 pounds
Hunter: 1 and a half years old and 9.07 pounds (he went to he vet last week).

I had a cat that had CRF and lived to be 13 years old. She was 5 pounds when she died. But was always a small kitty and her heaviest was 8 pounds. She was the bestest cat ever!

 

:shock: :shock: :shock: Wow, great genes! :y_the_best:

 

Ages and Weight of Cats

My first cat, Bullwinkle lived to be 23 years old. At his heaviest he was 14 pounds (he was an outdoor cat for part of his life and then when I moved into the city, he became an indoor cat). When he passed away he was 9 pounds.

Chester is going to be 6 in April and she was 9 pounds before she got sick a month ago. Now she is around 6 pounds and very skinny for a Maine coon mix.

Drakk is going to be 7 in August and he is a Siamese mix. Last time at the vet (October 2004) he was 7 pounds.

 

Out Moto, Smokey is almost 19 now



She's falling apart though :wink:. She has renal problems so has a special diet, including steamed fist 2 or 3 times a wee, she's better fed than me.

She has a slighty fast heart beat.

She's only got on big "fang" tooth left.

Blind in one eye. Not so good eye sight in the other.

And she has a bad wrist.

Not sure of her weight but the vet keeps a close eye on that anyway.

Apart from that she's going fine.

 

Smokey looks like a well loved kitty. she's very cute! :y_the_best:

 

My Bugs was feluek positive at 8 weeks, tested again at 16 weeks; still positive, tested again at 5 years; negative. But he's now a healthy 18 yrs old, and weighs 15 pounds. He's not fat, just big.

He's getting a bit arthritic, so we replaced his litter box with a couple of large baking trays. The kind the bakery uses to make large sheet cakes. The sides are lower, and he has an easier time getting in and out.

 

Dale is ~4 or 5 and she weighs 10.8lbs. She is my first "real" cat. This is crappy of me to say but my hole life we had cats, but my mom would let us get one (genreally a boy, bc boys can't have kittens!) and some would stick around the house for a few years, others disappeared shortly thereafter (not to death, but bc my mom would sneak the kitten back to wherever we got it from) so I have no idea how long cats would live, but i have heard over 20 years!! I think DAle still has alot of life in her!!

 

weight of my cat

Dice is 3years old and weighs 11lbs

My first cat had to be put down at the age of 20...and this is considered old for a cat...about 90-100 in human years. The average for a cat is definately about 15-18 years
