No, it's just a saying. robably because you know the other saying "Cats always land on their feet"? Well, that one is true. Cats can survive many falls from many heights, and never get hurt. While other animals... well, we won't talk about them.

Here is a simple experiment. If you have a cat, kill it and see how many times it comes back. If it comes back 8 times, then yes, they have nine lives. If it comes back seven or less times, at least you have your answer. Proceed to go cat shopping.

One life only like rest of living creatures. Nine lives could probably mean " nine genetical life styles within livelihood, something to do with nature."

The folklore that a cat has 9 lives possibly came about because #9 is the "trinity of trinities" and was considered lucky.

Actually they say 7 lives and not 9
I don;t know why they say that
May be cause its a Little bit difficult for a cat to die by falling from a height than any other animal cause they always //landed// with their feet ... and not with their heads or...

It depends on if you believe in reincarnation.
Cats tend to survive falls from great heights and other dangers that might kill other creatures, so they are said to have nine lives.

no, they don't......... it a figure of speech meaning they bounce back easily, and escape dangers.
