Jan 27, 2021 at 6:31 comment added Martin Tournoij outdoor cats of only around 4 years → Numbers for "average life span of outdoor cats" I can find seem to differ wildly; I can't find clear data on this, but my instinct tells me this is one of those cases where "average" isn't that useful, as much depends on the cat's personality and behaviour: my "outdoor cat" will just stay around the apartment which should be relatively safe, whereas others will be away for days or weeks at end. I suspect if you would plot it by age you will find that it's an inverse bell curve with many outdoor cats either dying quite young, or living relatively old.
