They say cats have nine lives because cats can survive harsh conditions, cats can fall from a few stories up and not die. This is because cats are built differently than other animals.
As of now, there are three books in "The Nine Lives of Romeo Crumb" series by L. Rifkin. The titles of the books are "The Nine Lives of Romeo Crumb: Life 1," "The Nine Lives of Romeo Crumb: Life 2," and "The Nine Lives of Romeo Crumb: Life 3."
The saying "cats have nine lives" is an old folklore myth, a saying that has been passed down for generations along with other superstititions like throwing salt over your left shoulder if you spill it. The saying originated when people noticed cats lived through situations that would kill a dog or a human, such as falling from a couple stories up out of a tree or escaping the reach of a predator about to kill it. It was assumed by people that the cat had actually died when it fell from the tree (anything else would have broken its neck), but because it had "extra" lives it could get back up and walk on. The real answer is cats are extremely flexible and agile and are able to arrange themselves to take the least amount of hurt from things like falls from height, and are able to escape through very small openings such as a hole in a fence.

A man named Jacob Peliton came up with this idea. Dr. Pete Safar is generally credited with coming up with the idea of using CPR to safe lives.
A cat is said to have "nine lives", because it can escape from situations that appear fatal. Cats' wounds heal relatively quickly, they are very flexible, their muscles are designed for very rapid response, they have very fast reflexes, and if they fall, they twist in mid-air so that they fall on their feet -- there are documented cases of cats surviving falls from a tenth floor balcony. There is a standing saying when a cat escapes from such a situation, that "he has used up one of his nine lives". In fact, a cat, like any other animal, has only one life; it is just that he seems to hang onto it so very tenaciously.

Yes! My friend who lives up the road has two cats and one of them is allergic to fleas. He licks his fur so much it drops off. That is his allergic reaction.

Cats have 9 lives, or so they say. :) So, I guess, possibly, for 9 years or something? Whenever they use up all of their lives I guess. Most domestic cats live between 10 and 20 years
They did not get enough views, so for now (until they get their ratings up) yes it is not airing. ; (
