It's a little harder to tell with cats unlike dogs where you can guess roughly by breed or size. So it's not unusual for some cats to croak at 10 even though you were a good pet parent and they lived a healthy life... And it's not highly unusual for some cats to live to 20 or beyond. A rough average would be around 15, but it's an average like a person's average life expectancy to be 72. Many live beyond and many don't even live to see it.
