If you’re a cat owner, you’re likely familiar with the feeling of wanting your feline to live forever. While this may not be realistic, the next best thing is choosing a cat breed that’s known for its longevity. While cats generally have long lifespans in comparison to some pets, there are specific breeds that tend to have longer lifespans overall. If you are looking for a feline companion who will share a few decades with you, consider one of these breeds and happily bond for years to come.
