Greetings, Actually 20 to 25 is closer to normal for a cat to live except in case of accident. I have a friend whose old cat is now 28, but he is old.
Animals that live in the wild and dine on the sick and diseased prey, do sometimes die from what made their prey sick. One of my dogs is half coyote and I almost lost her due to her hunting before I started to feed her raw. Now, she no longer eats what she kills, she brings it to Mom to make sure it is okay before chowing down. On a sustainable farm, trying to establish a sustainable way of life, I feel that the animal feeds should be home grown. I love the change for the better this has caused in my fur family, especially my 10 year old black lab, who is also a rescue.
