As the saying goes, cats have nine lives. Is there any scientific reason for this statement?

Everyone knows that cats are very agile and cautious animals, and they usually move at night. But nowadays, most pet cats have lost the ability to hunt mice. So, as the saying goes, cats have nine lives. Is there any scientific reason for this statement? This sentence makes sense, because cats are very agile and can quickly adjust their posture in many emergencies to achieve a safe state. Let's analyze it.

First of all, we all know that cats have always been good at catching mice. At present, many warehouses and large ships keep cats to prevent rats, because some rats will come to the warehouse or ship unintentionally, and because rats are rodents, they will cause damage to many instruments and equipment. Even in the era when rat catching equipment is so developed, cats will be kept to prevent rats from breeding. So cats have always been human's best friends, and it is also good to catch mice for us.

Nowadays, however, due to the lack of hunting environment, cats have gradually lost their ability to hunt mice. As the saying goes, a cat has nine lives because its agile posture can save the day in many dangerous situations, and its bones are relatively symmetrical and can cope with some shocks. That's why everyone says cats have nine lives. Of course, this is also a compliment to the kitten, which shows that the kitten is very easy to feed and very agile. Cats have nine lives mainly because of their excellent physical control ability, not really nine lives. The agility of cats comes from tens of thousands of years of evolution and transformation, mainly preying on animals that are very easy to escape.

Cats don't really have nine lives, but cats can survive tenaciously in many incredible scenes and save the day in many dangerous environments. Cats have nine lives related to ancient folklore, so it is interesting to form such a statement in many rumors.
