Is 12 really that ancient for a cat? My cat is 11 and he still zooms around 24/7 like a kitten

Because your cat's well taken care of, inside without any worms or infection or bulldozers

I do actually have the Clan cats living longer than most wild cats thanks to their fancy society, and medicine, but the natural lifespan is usually around 14-ish for them. Wild cats often don't get past even 5 years.

There are plenty of examples of Clan cats living much longer, though. Tallstar for example is going to be looking at 18. Misty beats him with a whopping 19. Pinestar’s 15 looks humble in comparison.
