As we all know, all living things born once, die once.
Out of all possibilities, why do cats can live 9 times? Or have 9 lives?
Is it a rumour, a saying or a believe?

Most animals have built-in sense of alertness around their surroundings especially the prey trying to evade themselves from the predators. Among domestic animals, cat is the most reliant upon alertness, inheriting from their ancestors characteristics, dexterous, agile and instant reflexes, the wild cat. Even the dog seldom maintains quite the same razor-sharp alertness. The dogs' ability is its stamina, cooperation with its fellows, canine and human.

The cat's combination of caution, agility and rapid reaction to emergency has become part of our myth. The myth prevails, no matter how dangerous a cat is placed on a situation could possibly be, the cat will somehow find its way out if there is a way of surviving.
