Ragdoll cats typically live between 12 and 17 years, with many reaching closer to 17 years when well cared for. Some Ragdolls have been known to live beyond 18 years and even surpass 20 years in exceptional cases. Average lifespan estimates range from about 10 to 18 years depending on genetics, lifestyle, diet, and veterinary care. Female Ragdolls tend to live slightly longer than males, with females averaging around 14-16 years and males around 12-14 years. Ragdolls generally have a longer lifespan compared to many other breeds, especially when kept indoors and given proper care.
