Do cats have 9 lifes

Answer 1

not really ... its just that everytime you think they are going to die they dont . like if you drop them they always lang on there feet . and if there about to get hit by a car most of the time the Dodge it . so its just an " expression "

Answer 2

WELL:

The belief that a cat has nine lives is probably based on the fact that a cat is more tenacious of life than most other animals. Those who have undertaken to kill cats appreciate that fact.

Attempts have been made to trace the origin of the common expression back to ancient Egypt. It is often said that Pasht, or Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of Egypt, had nine lives and that this circumstance gave rise to the old saying about a cat having nine lives. Egyptologists, however, say that they have found no evidence for the statement. In fact Bastet, being a goddess, would be regarded as immortal. Nine, however, was a favorite number in Egypt, as well as with other ancient orientals, and it may have somehow been associated with the cat-headed goddess. SO YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WHAT TO BELIVE!!!!!! Also it has also been proven that a cat does not have nine life's so i am sorry to every one that wants to belive that your cat can get hit by a truck and still live.

Answer 3

The belief that cats have nine lives is a common myth and not based in reality. Cats are resilient animals, but they only have one life just like any other living creature. The origin of this myth is unclear, but it likely stems from their agility, ability to survive falls from high places, and their reputation for escaping dangerous situations relatively unscathed.

Answer 4

no its just a saying
