An English/American proverb stated:"A cat has nine lives. For three he plays, for three he strays, and for the last three days he stays "
According to an internet website, most cats live for about 14 years, although some have been known to live to the age of 30 and even beyond. The myth that a cat has 9 lives probably came about due to its ability to escape from many dangerous situations without harm. Cats also have the uncanny ability to land on their feet when falling, even from great heights, and be able to keep on going.
Cats have keen eyesight, good memories and exceptional senses of hearing and smell. These combine with their swiftness and agility to help keep them out of danger. They are able to get out of nasty situations because they can get through pretty small spaces to make their escape. Thus, eventhough a cat may escape with its life many times, it still lives only once, just like any other animals.
