12-17-years Lifespan Cat Breeds
Discover our comprehensive directory of cat breeds with 12-17-years lifespan.
British Shorthair
A stocky, dense cat with a round face and a thick plush coat. Originally working cats brought to Britain by the Romans. Today they are calm, patient, and largely content to sit beside you rather than on you.
British Longhair
The long-haired version of the British Shorthair. Same round face and calm temperament. The coat needs regular grooming to prevent matting.
Caracal
A wild cat, not a domestic breed. Native to Africa, the Middle East, and parts of South Asia. Known for its long tufted ears. Occasionally kept as exotic pets, but they are wild animals.
Turkish Van
From the Lake Van region of Turkey. An unusual fondness for water sets them apart from most cats. White coat with colour only on the head and tail.
