Cats are living longer than ever before, with many reaching 15–20 years or more. But longevity isn’t just about genetics—it’s heavily influenced by diet and lifestyle. Studies show that cats fed high-quality, moisture-rich food have fewer health problems and better aging outcomes.¹
So, what can you do to help your cat live a longer, healthier life? It starts with nutrition.
1. The Link Between Diet and Cat Longevity
Food is fuel, but it’s also medicine. A poor diet can shorten a cat’s life through obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, or heart problems. Conversely, a balanced, fresh diet:
• Supports organ function
• Maintains a healthy weight
• Strengthens the immune system²
2. Why Fresh Cat Food Promotes Longevity
Unlike processed kibble, fresh cat food is minimally cooked, preserving essential nutrients. Benefits include:
• High hydration → prevents kidney strain
• Natural proteins → maintain muscle mass in aging cats
• Healthy fats (omega-3s) → reduce inflammation and joint pain
• Antioxidants → protect against cellular damage and aging³
3. Common Diet-Linked Health Issues in Older Cats
Cats on commercial kibble are more likely to develop:
• Chronic kidney disease (from dehydration)
• Diabetes (from high-carb diets)
• Obesity (from fillers and overfeeding)
• Arthritis (from inflammation and poor nutrition)⁴
Preventing these conditions through diet directly extends life expectancy.
