Why do humans live so long compared to animals?
Why 20 year old cat is basically near it's deathbed, while 20 year old human is still only reaching its peak?

Ecological niches. Cats survive better with shorter generations. Just think about it, they have brutal lives and often die before reaching 5 years of age (in the wild). What difference does it make to have long lifespans if you still die young from the harshness of life?

Could of googled this nigga.

The average telomere length in cats is 5- to 10-fold longer than in humans, but the rate of telomere shortening is much higher both in vivo and in vitro. These observations are compatible with similar stem cell kinetics in both species.
