History of Cats:
Cats have been kept by humans since at least ancient Egypt. In
ancient Egypt, the cat god, Bast, was a goddess of the home and of
the domestic cat, although she sometimes took on the war-like
aspect of a lioness. She was the daughter of the sun god Ra,
although she was sometimes regarded as the daughter of Amun. She
was the wife of Ptah and mother of the lion-god Mihos. Her cult was
centered on her sanctuary at Bubastis in the Nile Delta, where a
necropolis has been found containing mummified cats. Bast was also
associated with the "eye of Ra," acting as the instrument of the
sun god's vengeance. She was depicted as a cat or in human form
with the head of a cat, often holding the sacred rattle known as
the sistrum.
Several ancient religions believe that cats are exalted souls,
companions or guides for humans, that they are all-knowing but are
mute so they cannot influence decisions made by humans.
It is common lore that cats have nine lives. It is a tribute to
their perceived durability, their occasional apparent lack of
instinct for self-preservation, and their seeming ability to
survive falls that would be fatal to other creatures.

The facts:
The questions:
So, do you believe Cats have 9 life or 8/9 of their life is gained
from the unparagoned way of falling?
Or does any see a dead Cat resurrected before?
And... does it got to do with Cat o' nine tails (nine tail whipping
device)?
Today I just saw a dead Cat near my house... 
Wonder if I should bury it on my way home later...
At the same time I wonder if it hasn't reach its 9th life yet, I
bury it, it revives, I am the murderer 
(Not the real one...)
