cats and dogs is almost ten years, and the time they spend with us is very short. In order to prolong the lifespan of cats and dogs, many poop shovel officers began to pay attention to the diet of cats and dogs to ensure that their nutrition is comprehensive and balanced, and they will regularly deworm and inject vaccinations to enhance their resistance. Compared with cats and dogs, who will live longer?
In nature, a basic principle: the larger the animal, the longer the average life expectancy. But this principle is not suitable for large dogs and petite cats. For example: the longest-lived cat in the world, the Guinness World Record holder, is cat puff, who lived to be 38 years old. The longest-lived dog in the world has lived for 30 years. The life span of cats is much longer than that of dogs.
According to the survey, the total average lifespan of various dogs is about 12 years, and they die completely due to aging. Dogs that are not affected by abnormal factors can live for an average of about 15 years, and dogs that can live for more than 15 years Accounted for 8%.
The average lifespan of male cats is estimated to be about 15 years, and the lifespan of female cats who have not mate is 15-17 years, but the lifespan of male and female cats that have been neutered is 1-2 years longer than the average lifespan. Comparing
again, you will find that the average lifespan of dogs is about 15 years, while the average lifespan of cats is about 17 years. The average life span of cats is about 2-3 years longer than that of dogs. Why can cats live longer than dogs? The length of life between cats and dogs mainly depends on their personalities. The dog is very enthusiastic, and can play with each other no matter who he meets. Cats are different, they are very cold, no matter how good you are to them, they will look like they don't care about you.
The cold personality of cats is different from dogs that are accustomed to being in groups and enthusiasm. The personality of cats is self, aloof, and independent. Even if they have a small group, the number of individuals in the group is also Not a lot. In this way, greatly reduces the probability of mutual infection among groups, so that cats live longer than dogs.
Another aspect is the mating problem of dogs. In the process of domestication of for thousands of years, humans have made a lot of artificial selection and breed breeding of dogs. Such domestication has made dogs in modern society very different from their ancestors. At the same time, many breeds cultivated by humans are naturally born. Easily plagued by genetic diseases.
such as teacup dogs. The mating between cats is very orderly, we have not even seen a teacup cat. disorderly breeding can easily cause the dog's own congenital diseases, and the average life span of the dog will become lower.
