It is said that cats have "nine lives". Of course, this is not to say that it dies nine times before it is really dead, but that cats have a strong ability to survive and are not easy to die.
Let's take a look at what cats have to survive!
First of all, cats have super running ability, and it is not easy to hurt it. Cats and dogs are inherently incompatible, and when dogs see cats, they regard them as prey, and even bark and chase them, and at this moment, there is no idea how many dogs in this world are doing this. But have you ever actually seen a cat that has been bitten to death by a dog?
The reason is that cats can go to the house, climb trees, and climb walls, while dogs, although they are imposing, they can only stare dryly. To be honest, in residential areas, the only cat that can catch up with one cat is the other cat.
The cat adjusts its falling stance in mid-air.
Secondly, cats can swim. Although the technology is not good, you can't die if you fall into the water, and you can help in a pinch.
Again, cats have a set of hard kung fu for soft landings. Even if it falls from a height, injuries tend to be mild, thanks to its well-developed motor nervous system and balance. Once it falls from a high altitude, it can adjust its attitude in the air, whether it starts with its back down or other bad posture, and its forelimbs are ready to land when it is close to the ground, and the thick fleshy pads and flexible spine can effectively dissipate the momentum.
However, sometimes falling from a low place, staying in the air for a short time, the cat does not have time to adjust its posture, but the injury will be more serious.
Cats also have a strong ability to heal after injury. In 2009, scientific research found that the myelin in cats can recover on its own after being destroyed, which the human body cannot do. Myelin is a lipid on the outside of neurons that assists in the transmission of nerve signals, and the loss of nerve protection can lead to sensory, behavioral, cognitive, and other functional abnormalities.
As a result, the cat's nervous system has a super ability to recover after being damaged.
Not only that, but cats are also very strong in combat and hunting. Cats are also sharp-clawed and sharp-toothed, and few animals can defeat cats in the same size. And that foot of the meat pad makes their actions quiet, ambushing mice, birds and other animals can be said to be handy, plus a sharp sense of smell nose and a pair of cat's eyes that can see at night, if you want to starve cats, it is difficult!

Scientists note that both domestic and feral cats make purring sounds after being injured. This purring sound from the larynx helps them heal bone injuries and organ damage. Scientists have also found from human experiments that exposing the human body to sound waves similar to the snoring of cats can help improve human bone quality.

"Jumping over the ridge" is a breeze for cats, and sometimes they can even climb very tall trees. When pursued, cats always quickly climb to high places and wait for their opponents to leave helplessly before coming down. The reason why a cat is good at climbing high and low is related to its whole body structure.
We often see cats fall from great heights without the slightest damage to their bodies, while dogs fall from the same height, either death or injury, which is the origin of the common saying "cats have nine lives".
Why don't cats get hurt when they fall from a height? This is related to the fact that cats have a well-developed balance system and a well-developed body protection mechanism. When a cat falls from the sky, regardless of whether it starts with its back down and all fours in the air, the cat always turns around quickly during the fall, and when approaching the ground, its forelimbs are ready to land.
The thick fatty pads on the cat's toes can greatly reduce the vibration of the ground against the cat's body recoil. It can effectively prevent the damage of vibration to various organs. A cat's tail is also a balancing organ, like the tail of an airplane, that keeps the body balanced.
In addition to this, cats have well-developed limbs, short forelimbs and long hind limbs, which are conducive to jumping. Its motor nerves are well developed, its body is soft, its muscles and ligaments are strong, and its balance is perfect, so it will not fall to its death due to loss of balance despite the large drop when climbing and jumping.
In foreign classics, there is also a saying that cats have 9 lives. The saying that cats have nine lives has its roots in witchcraft. A 1584 book by the English author William Baldwin called Beware of the Cat contains the phrase:
Witches can take the body of their own cat up to 9 times. That is, a cat can have 9 lives.
Most countries say that cats have nine lives, but the Spanish-speaking region says seven lives, while Turkey and the Arab countries say six lives.
Therefore, the fact that cats have nine lives does not mean that cats can live and die in nine cycles, but that nine is the extreme. Cats have nine lives, which just means that cats can save their lives when they fall from a height with a responsive emergency movement system, not an actual number.

Third, the emergence of the cat party No matter what, cats have now become pets that many people are more inclined to raise. And with the popularity of cats, the cat family also came into being. For such a cute cat owner, it is a headache for many shovelers, and they love and hate.
So the saying that cats have 9 lives, I am more inclined to say that it is because cats have tenacious lives.
