It has to do with volume vs surface area. All things lose heat through the surface. The bigger the surface, the more heat lost. An animal curled into a ball presents the least amount of surface area for its volume, which means it takes the least amount of energy to keep warm.
I had never seen centipede curl up if disturbed. Milipedes do curl.
Cats can generally tolerate 20-degree weather for short periods of time if they have shelter, warmth, and access to food and water. However, extended exposure to such temperatures can be dangerous for cats, especially if they are not adequately protected from the cold. It is recommended to provide them with a warm and safe environment during cold weather.

Yes they are, I used to play with them all the time. FUN FACT: Pillbugs curl into tight balls when threatened.Most kids have poked a pillbug to watch it roll up into a tight ball.
