No, cats do not really have nine lives (which, by logical extension, would mean they could die eight times and resurrect themselves). This is a folklore myth which came from the observation that cats seem to be able to extricate themselves from a number of situations which would have killed a dog or a human. Cats are still susceptible to injury and infection, and once they die once they are dead and not coming back.
Is it true cats have nine lives? Well, they actually don't have nine lives. This is because cats land on their feet whenever they drop and some people believe cats have nine lives is because they are just superstitious about this kind of stuff. Cats are also nocturnal which means they get 8-9 hours of sleep each day. That is also another reason some people think cats have nine lives. Also, the expression "That Cat Has Nine Lives" means that that cat survived something drastic. THE END
