The longest living are alot of the time the mutts. I don’t know if there is a certain breed that lives the shortest but I think it depends on how much inbreeding is done because a certain breed is so populair.

As a child I picked up a domestic short hair and brought her home…Susie was her name…she lived until she was 21 years old due to my dads loving care for her.
They say that indoor cats can live anywhere from 10 to 17 years compare to an outdoor one that has a much shorter lifespan of 4 to 7 years.My oldest cat is a domestic longhair she is over 12 now and looks as good and fit as a 4 year old cat.
I believe that a cat that spends most of the time indoors and that is spayed(spaying eliminates chances of breast & uterine cancer) and properly vaccinated and receives lots of loving care may live way longer then one that does not receive any care.
I quess it is possible that some cat breeds may make it longer then others.That is actually a very interesting question.All my 3 cats are spayed all are domestic and I pray that they will spend as many years with me as possible.
God bless you and your loved ones.
PLease always adopt from your shelter
Report animal cruelty
Always spay and neuter
