Of what did the big kitty die? I've heard of cats living beyond 30 years, and often wonder if we fed them correctly that they wouldn't routinely live to at least somewhere between 20 and 30 years. Some people think cats just have weak kidneys, but if they did, their species wouldn't have lasted very long, IMHO.
Note that for females at least, ovary retention may very well play a big part. Look up the Center for Exceptional Longevity Studies, Gerald P. Murphy Cancer Foundation and David Waters' work in ovary retention. Then good luck finding a vet that will do tubal ligations. Vets are simply not taught how to do so, even though it's almost easier than a neuter. Two sutures on each tube (not the uterine horn), and cut.
