About this Quote

This quote by Mark Twain is a funny contrast between felines and lies. He is suggesting that felines have a greater resilience than lies. This is because felines have 9 lives, meaning they can survive 9 near-death experiences, while lies can only make it through one. This quote is a pointer that felines are extremely durable creatures, and that lies are not. It also serves as a caution that lies can be quickly exposed and damaged, while cats can endure and grow regardless of the chances. This quote is a funny method of reminding us that cats are incredibly strong and durable, while lies are not.
