Where did the "9" come from in "A cat has 9 lives" Why 9
I understand why it was said a cat has more than 1 life, but why the number 9? Where'd it come from?
Answers:"Attempts have been made to trace the origin of the common expression back to ancient Egypt. It is often said that Pasht, or Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of Egypt, had nine lives and that this circumstance gave rise to the old saying about a cat having nine lives. Egyptologists, however, say that they have found no evidence for the statement. In fact Bastet, being a goddess, would be regarded as immortal. Nine, however, was a favorite number in Egypt, as well as with other ancient orientals, and it may have somehow been associated with the cat-headed goddess."
because there was once a cat and it got hurt really bad 9 times before it died.duh
9 was considered a lucky number because it's the trinity of trinity; 3x3=9.
In some cultures, 9 is meaningless and cats only have 7 lives.
