How long does a British Shorthair cat live?

The lifespan of British shorthair cats is generally between 10 and 15 years. The lifespan of cats is closely related to the feeding methods of cat owners. If a British shorthair cat is properly cared for and fed scientifically, its lifespan may reach about 20 years. If the feeding method is not correct, the cat's lifespan will be only a few years.

Diet

The gastrointestinal digestive function of British shorthair cats is relatively weak, so special attention should be paid to feeding, and natural food should be fed as much as possible. If it is homemade cat food, it should be eaten freshly made, and do not feed food that has been left for too long; pay attention to regular and quantitative feeding. Especially when changing cat food, if the owner changes the food too suddenly, it will cause diarrhea, but there is no need to worry too much, as long as you slowly and reasonably adapt it to the new cat food and make a good transition. Don't replace them all at once, or you won't get diarrhea easily.

Moderate exercise

Just like us, if we don’t exercise regularly, many diseases will come to us if we gain weight. Therefore, to have a well-behaved and healthy cat, you should play games with it for at least half an hour every day. This can not only increase the relationship between you and the cat, but also maintain a well-proportioned figure together.
