This isn’t true at all, where did you read it? Every source I’ve seen asserts that on average indoor cats have twice the lifespan of outdoor ones.

You know there’s no secret cat-measuring cabal that automatically records the age of every cat, right?

IIRC the oldest piece of clothing that we’ve found is a sock. Don’t quote me though.
Edit: I was wrong! The sock is 1,700 years old, the oldest item ever found is a linen dress made 5,000 years ago.
