Siete Vidas
Sorry, Jules, it isn't the Playboy TV show. It is, in fact, the idea that cats in Chile have only seven lives, not the nine that cats get elsewhere. I found this fascinating... Is it because Chilean cats have harder lives? The idea that cats have nine lives is likely Egyptian in origin. How did it get changed when it migrated to Spain, South America, and a few other places? And why to seven? Is it because seven is a historically lucky number?
