Why are cats said to have nine lives in their lifetime
A myth only? A famous saying only? Please answer in terms of what u know about cats and "nine lives" part. U may relate it to cats' stories, or perhaps any ghost stories that u've read which contains "Cats have 9 lives" part.
Answers:its because they get lucky a lot. one time my cat fell out of a second story window, landed on a pole on a chain link fence (metal) and then got up ran to the front of the house and was unscathed.
I've heard they've got 7 lives, not nine. dunno why.
Dont really know, but my guess would be 'cos theyre always running under cars/having close calls with getting squashed etc..
A mere myth.Some people believe in the superstition that cats have nine lives, because cats can survive falls from high places with few, if any injuries. This gives the appearance that the cats return to life after sustaining a fatal accidents. Granted, they may sustain minor injuries, such as bloody noses, cracked teeth, or a few broken ribs, but they live to recover.
The ability of the cat to survive these accidents that would kill humans or other animals is not due to multiple lives, but to several advantages they possess. Their small size and low body weight soften the impact as they make contact with the ground after falling from great heights.
The highly developed inner ears of cats equip them with an unusually keen sense of balance, which is critical to their landing on their feet. This sense of balance allows a cat falling upside down to right himself by rapidly determining his position, repositioning himself, and making any adjustments necessary to ensure that he lands on all fours.
I seem to remember that it has something to do with the ancient Egyptians - they thought cats were sacred and had them mummified, I think it was something to do with one of their gods, sorry not to be of any more help
