留园上看来的。转帖以飨诸位猫爸妈。
首当其冲就是绝育啊
一直怀孕的母猫生命会缩短，不绝育不交配的猫由于激素分泌不平衡容易得癌症，公猫街上乱跑寻求交配的平均寿命只有三岁．．．
Things that Influence Cat Life Expectancy
1) Neutering / Spaying
This is one of the key influencers for a few reasons:
Un-neutered tom cats display characteristic un-neutered male cat behavior including excessive fighting and wandering for miles looking for females to mate with. Excessive fighting puts them at risk of incurable infectious diseases such as cat leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Wandering for miles increases their chances of being killed on the roads.
An un-spayed female will be at risk of catching cat leukemia, FIV and other infectious diseases through mating with infected male cats. Repeatedly giving birth to litter after litter of kittens can also shorten a female cat's life expectancy.
Not getting a cat neutered or spayed can increase the risk of cancers of the sex organs, which are caused in part by excessive production of sex hormones. Neutering / spaying greatly reduces sex hormone levels, so the cancer risk is also greatly reduced.
2) Diet
Cheap, un-nutritious cat food can cause all sorts of cat health problems which can lead to a reduced cat life expectancy and should be avoided like the plague.
One of the most common causes of death in older cats is chronic cat kidney failure. This can be avoided or considerably slowed down with a lower protein diet. There are special lower protein diets which may be recommended by your vet for elderly cat care.
Obese cats will have lots more health problems and will be more likely to die younger than cats who are within normal weight range.
3) Medical care
Cats that have regular check-ups by the vet, regular vaccinations and prompt treatment of cat illnesses are likely to live longer than those that don't.
Many elderly cat health problems can be reduced or avoided with regular veterinary checks.
4) Where they live
House cats that aren't at risk of dangers outside such as traffic, dogs etc. stand the best chance of living a long life. At the other extreme, an un-neutered tom cat living as a stray will only have a cat lifespan of about 3 years.
5) Their genetic make-up
Some cats, like some humans, have naturally stronger constitutions than others. Different cat breeds also have different genetic characteristics, and some tend to live longer than others as a result. For example, the American Shorthair cat is a healthy, long lived breed and can live over 20 years. Himalayan cat is more prone to kidney failure than most other breeds, so may not live as long.
Cat life expectancy is affected by a number of factors, but these days a well-looked after cat has a good chance of living 10 - 15 years or even more. The oldest cat ever documented in the Guinness Book of Records was Creme Puff, who died in 2005, age 38!

事情的影响猫平均寿命
1）绝育/ Spaying
这是几个原因的关键影响因素之一：
未绝育公猫显示出带有未绝育雄性猫特性的行为，包括过多的战斗，并为寻找女性交配逡巡数英里。过多的战斗使他们无法治愈的传染性疾病，如猫白血病和猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）的风险。徘徊数英里，增加在道路上被杀害的机会。
未绝育的女性，将通过与受感染的公猫交配得猫白血病，FIV及其他传染病的风险。一窝接一窝不停生小猫，还可以缩短一个雌猫的寿命。
未绝育的公猫和母猫会增加得性器官癌症的几率，部分是由于性激素的过量生产。绝育大大降低性激素水平，因此也大大降低患癌症的风险。
2）饮食
价格便宜，无营养猫粮，可引起各种猫的健康问题，这可能会导致减少猫的寿命，并应避免像瘟疫。
老年猫死亡的最常见的原因之一，是慢性猫肾功能衰竭。这可避免或大大减缓与低蛋白饮食。有特别提供给老年猫的低蛋白饮食，也许兽医会建议您安排这样的饮食。
肥胖的猫将有更多的健康问题，并可能比正常体重范围内的猫死得早。
3）医疗保健
猫有定期检查，审核，定期接种疫苗和猫的疾病及时治疗，可能比那些没有这些条件的猫活得长。
许多老人猫的健康问题，可减少或避免与兽医定期检查。
4）他们身在何处
呆在家里的猫，不面对户外的危险，如交通，狗等，有最好的机会得到长寿。另一个极端，一个未绝育到处流浪的公猫的寿命约为3年。
5）他们的基因构成
有些猫和有些人一样，天然体质比其他人强壮。不同的猫的品种也有不同的遗传特性，一些人往往生活比别人更长。例如，美国短毛猫是一个健康，长寿命的品种，并能活超过20年。喜马拉雅猫是比大多数其他品种更容易出现肾功能衰竭，所以可能活不了那么久。
猫的寿命是由多项因素影响，但每天的精心照顾使猫能生活10 - 15岁，甚至更多。有史以来的吉尼斯世界纪录记载的最古老的猫Creme Puff，在2005年去世，38岁。 |
