Do Cats Really Have Nine Lives?
To the relief of dogs everywhere, we can say without a doubt that cats have but one life to live. The “nine lives" story is just a popular myth that has been around for hundreds of years.
Myths are old stories (sometimes called "legends") that typically feature a person, animal, hero, or event. Although they have no basis in fact, they usually try to explain some idea or natural phenomenon.
So where did the myth about cats having nine lives come from? No one knows for sure. We do know, though, that it's been around for a long time.
Some people believe the nine lives myth is related to cats' ability to always land on their feet. Cats are also known for their dexterity and agility.
Over time, people witnessed cats survive in situations that surely would have severely injured other animals. Some people likely began to believe that cats must have multiple lives.
