I don't know where the number nine comes from, but cats have astonishing recuperative facilities.
I found this cat once which had been run over by a car. She was bleeding from the mouth, had crapped herself and was wheezing horribly. So I thought I'd just comfort her until she'd die. After about half an hour I decided to take her home so that she could die there. By the time I had taken her home she already tried to escape, and the next morning she was anxious to get home.
She did come back to visit a couple of times, even though it was a couple of miles from the scene of the accident, which I thought was pretty polite for a cat.
And that's why they say cats have several lives.
