How old does an average cat with a great vet live?

Question by deblite: How old does an average cat with a great vet live?
My cat is 16, had her since she was 5 weeks. I have a great Vet whos one of the best Cat Vets in the world. She goes to him 3 times a year. She gets full blood work done.He says shes very healthy.
She has a thyroid conditon which she takes pills for.
Its hard for her to jump, but can get around by climbing on her own.
How long can I expect her to live?
Had her teeth cleaned last year, cost $ 1, 200, but the vet said it needed to be done for her health.
With the teeth cleaning, she had to be put out, on IV, have heart monitored while they cleaned the plaque, it was very bad with pus inside.

Wow, it sounds like you’re also a great owner!

I’ve seen kitties live to be over 20 years old! Yours sounds like she’s on her way.

Keep doing what you’re doing and hopefully she’s still got years ahead of her.
