The life span of civet cats is generally about 10 to 12 years. In the past, people raised civet cats in a more casual way, so their average life span was not long. Now the average life span of civet cats is about 15 to 18 years. Some civet cats are raised using scientific feeding methods.

How many years does a civet cat normally live?

In the past, the average life span of civet cats was about 10 to 12 years, but now the average life span of civet cats is about 15 to 18 years; because people in the past raised civet cats in a more casual way, their average life span is not long. Nowadays, most civet cats are raised using scientific breeding methods. Their average life span is relatively long. Some civet cats can even live to be over 20 years old, which is also relatively common. Therefore, the main factor that determines the life span of civet cats is the way their owners raise them.

The outdoor survival ability of civet cats is relatively strong. If you want to keep civet cats in a free range, you must meet the free-range conditions. It is generally not recommended for people who live in bustling cities and streets to keep free-range civet cats. There are many safety hazards when cars come and go. If you live in some villages, you can choose to raise them semi-free range or indoors. Generally, free-range civet cats are relatively wild and tend to run away from home. Civet cats raised indoors will have a more docile personality and completely lose their wildness.

Although civet cats have a good physique and are not prone to getting sick, they still need to be vaccinated. When civet cats are about 2 months old, they can be vaccinated with triple cat vaccine and rabies vaccine. Later, it is recommended to vaccinate them every 3 years or so. Vaccinating civet cats can prevent diseases and improve immunity, which is more conducive to the healthy growth of civet cats.

If the civet cats are free-range, it is even more necessary to neuter them at the appropriate age, so as to contribute to the reduction of stray cats. And there are many benefits of neutering your cat, which can reduce the chance of reproductive diseases. Generally, the life span of neutered civet cats will be 1 to 2 years longer than that of non-neutered civet cats.

No matter whether the cats are free-range or not, they must be dewormed regularly. If the cat often goes out, it is recommended that the cat be expelled once every 30 days, and the cat should be expelled once every 60 days. If the cat does not go out, it is recommended that the cat be expelled once every 60 days, and the cat should be expelled once every 90 days.
