Cats have nine lives
The proverb “ cats have nine lives” has become widely used to convey the meaning of the invincibility of someone. This proverb is based on a true fact about cats. Cats would seem to be able to escape death due to their speed and agility. This is very clear in the cats’ ability to survive falls from heights. There are many records of cats falling from more than 20 floors with only getting minor injuries. You call that luck? Well, I don’t think so.
The cat hero
Although, unlike dogs, cats might be known for being somehow selfish and self-interested, some of them can be really heroes. In 2012, a cat managed to save its female owner’s life when she suffered a diabetic seizure and lost consciousness. The cat jumped onto her chest and kept on nudging and biting at her face so that she wakes up. The cat then ran into the diabetic woman’s son and kept on trying to wake him up until he woke up and went to call for help.
Another cat hero
Another cat hero was in Argentina in 2008. A one-year-old boy was found by police being protected and kept alive by a group of cats. These cats saved the life of that orphan baby boy after being separated from his homeless father. They gathered around him at night to keep him warm and went to bring scraps of food for him to eat.
