Sphynx cats don't live as long as other domestic feline breeds, according to a new study published by researchers from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) and the National Chung Hsing University in Taiwan and shared in the 'Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery' earlier this week.
The cat breed lives for an average of 6.7 years after their first year of life as a kitten, researchers saidNicholas Rice is a Senior Editor for PEOPLE Magazine. He began working with the brand as an Editorial Intern in early 2020, before later transitioning to a freelance role, and then staff positions soon after. Nicholas writes and edits anywhere between 7 to 9 stories per day on average for PEOPLE, spanning across each vertical the brand covers.
Siamese cats were next with a life expectancy of 11.7 years after their first year of life, followed by Persian cats , Ragdoll cats , Norwegian forest cats , Maine coon cats , Russian cats , British cats and Bengal cats .to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
Researchers also found that cats that have not been neutered have a shortened life expectancy. They estimate this is because felines are more likely to have the procedure done as they get older.
