Known is the saying that goes “a cat has nine lives”. In other latitudes they have similar sayings, for example in Europe a similar sentence attributes to this feline up to 7 lives (even though the Turkish version brings them down to “only” six).

What seems clear is that all cultures give the cat a survival bonus, without a doubt higher than that of other animals. The origin of these sayings has its roots in the surprising fact that many times cats fall from very high places without getting hurt.

f we analyze the injuries that these felines get after falling from different heights, we would see that in multiple cases these animals have been unscathed, or just had minor injuries after falling from tall buildings. What does the cat have to show this strange ability?
