Humans have a limited lifespan, and so do cats. In the cat world, the longest-lived cat can live to be 20 years old, while the shorter-lived ones can only live to be 9 to 10 years old. The five types of cats I want to introduce to you today all have a lifespan of less than 12 years. Please cherish it if you keep it!

　1. Exotic short hair cat

Lifespan: 6~8 years

Character: Loyal, friendly, docile, clingy

Exotic short-hair cats, which we often call Garfield cats, are bred according to human preferences, so they have many diseases. For example, it is easy to have difficulty breathing, tear stains, heart disease and other problems.

Exotic short-haired cats have a relatively poor physique, are not properly cared for, often get sick, and have a short life span. Therefore, pet owners who have a Garfield cat must cherish the time they spend with it.

2. Munchkin bantam cat

Lifespan: 10~12 years

Personality: Optimistic, friendly, delicate and emotional

Because of its short legs and long body, Munchkin cats are also called short-legged cats, corgi cats, and dachshund cats. Although their legs are short, they can jump and climb well, but they are weak in fighting.

Munchkin cats are not cats derived from genetic mutations. They do not have any problems. They have a lively and cheerful personality. They like to play with their owners and have a child-like personality. However, their average lifespan is quite short.

　3. Maine Coon Cat

Lifespan: 12 years

Character: Brave, loyal, bold, smart

Maine Coon cats are very large, and the life span of large cats is generally quite short. Maine Coon cats look domineering, but have a very gentle personality. They like to be with their owners and can live in harmony with humans and other small animals. They are very good pet companions.

It is best to have a larger living space when raising Maine Coon cats, because they need exercise. Pet owners can also take their Maine Coon cats out for a walk, which is very cool!

　4. Scottish Fold Cat

Lifespan: 10 years

Character: gentle, smart, and humane

The Scottish Fold cat is a cat derived from a genetic mutation. The Fold cat looks sweet, cute and cute, and can make people cute. However, this kind of cat has congenital achondroplasia, and will be very serious once it develops. Painful and no cure.

Therefore, the life span of Scottish Fold cats is relatively short, generally no more than 10 years. Pet owners who raise it must cherish the time spent with it!

　5. Pastoral Cat

Lifespan: 8~10 years

Character: independent, wild, bold, loyal

Pastoral cats are our native cats in China. They have good physical fitness, strong adaptability, are good at catching mice, and have low feeding costs. Although sometimes garden cats can be a bit fierce and unloving, once they recognize their owners and are raised well, they will be very clingy and loyal to their owners.

When a garden cat senses that its time is running out, it will choose to run away from home and never come back. The reason why pastoral cats generally have a short lifespan is that, first, pastoral cats are prone to various accidents, and the second is due to dietary reasons.

Therefore, for the health of cats, pet owners should pay special attention to dietary issues. Do not feed leftovers to cats. Leftovers are not nutritious. Cats can easily become malnourished and picky eaters if they eat them for a long time. It is recommended to feed them cat food. Mainly, pet owners can choose a nutritious cat food as the cat’s staple food to ensure the cat’s health.
