For three, he plays; for three, he strays; for the last three, he stays.&rdquo;\n<p>The proverb&rsquo;s origins might remain a mystery, but we have an estimated timeline at the very least.\n</p><p>In one of <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/shakespeare-facts%5C/%5C%22">William Shakespeare&lsquo;s most famous plays, <em>Romeo and Juliet, he wrote: &ldquo;<em>Good king of cats, nothing but one of your nine lives.&rdquo;\n<p>The bard wrote the tragedy in the 16<sup>th century, making the myth of a cat&rsquo;s nine lives predate the 1500s.\n<h2>Why do cats have nine lives?&nbsp;\n<h2><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-238915 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/10%5C/cats-nine-lives-why.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"A' couple of cats. one them sticking out their tongue width='\"728\"' height='\"400\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/www.factstoryhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-nine-lives-why.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</h2></h2><p>Our feline friends are known to be very agile animals; they&rsquo;re&nbsp;fiercely independent and intelligent creatures.\n</p><p>They can fall from high elevations and still land on their feet. There&rsquo;s even a documented case in New York where a cat fell from a 32-story building and survived, suffering only minor injuries.\n</p><p>Feats like this are possibly where the idea of cats having nine lives came from.&nbsp;This is all thanks to the cat&rsquo;s fantastic anatomy, of course.\n</p><p>Like most feline species, cats evolved from living in <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/tree-facts%5C/%5C%22">trees.\n<p>The years of evolution before they became domesticated ensured that they adapted to the height from where their species started living.\n</p><p>Cats have a &ldquo;righting reflex&rdquo; where they can twist their bodies as they fall, ensuring that they securely land on their feet.\n</p><p>Their large body surface area reduces the force of the fall.\n</p><p>At the same time, the impressive flexibility of their ligaments and bones helps them sustain as minimal injury from the impact as possible.\n</p><p>So, you can say that a cat&rsquo;s nine lives come from millions of years of evolution.\n</p><h2>Why is it specifically nine lives?\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-238914 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/10%5C/cats-nine-lives-specific.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"A' ginger cat researching information about cats on a laptop width='\"728\"' height='\"400\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/www.factstoryhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-nine-lives-specific.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>We always asked why and how cats have nine lives but have you ever thought why an odd number like nine exactly?
