Olá Pessoal,

Em inglês os gatos ganham mais duas vidas num total de nove:

Ex:Cats have nine lives.

Why do people say that cats have nine lives?

Some people believe in the superstition that cats have nine lives, because cats can survive falls from high places with few, if any injuries. This gives the appearance that the cats return to life after sustaining fatal accidents. Granted, they may sustain minor injuries, such as bloody noses, cracked teeth, or a few broken ribs, but they live to recover.

Olá Julio,

Questões apenas de diferenças idiomáticas,normalmente o sentido é o mesmo.Na verdade os gatos tem apenas uma vida em qualquer lugar( ) mas quando as línguas se formam alguns detalhes às vezes não coincidem 100%.


Bons estudos!

Na música Nightrain dos Guns n' Roses fala uma parte assim:

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
Well I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
And honey you can make my motor run
I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog smile
I got a Molotov cocktail
With a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can take my money tonight
