Hey guys!
Here's an easier one for you all. It's also more related to the book series in my opinion. And remember, everyone has the chance to gain bonus Star Dust for participation.

Trivia:
True or False?
In reality, cats have nine lives that they use to get out of near death encounters. Despite this nifty aid, they still need to be careful, as this will only save their life up to eight times. On the ninth near death encounter, the cat will die, having had no lives left to bring them back.

It's a myth for me.
I believe that my grandma told me that this rumor comes from the fact that cats always land on their feet. I am not sure if this is an accurate origin of this myth, but there may be some truth about that.

You are correct! The answer is "False".
The myth likely originated from the fact that cats are agile and dexterous, allowing them to survive falls that would have otherwise killed any other animal. This is because they almost always land on their feet. However, not every region says that cats have nine lives. In Arabic and Turkish legends, it is said that cats have six lives, while there are some Spanish-speaking places among the world that say cats have seven.
