Ou bien 9 vies car au moyen age on prétendait que les > sorcières pouvaient se transformer 9 fois en chat noir. Je ne sais pas. > nine lives maybe because the egyptians who worshipped cats thought they lost a life each time they made their way out of an impossible situation. or 9 lives because in the middle ages it was said sorcerers could turn nine times into black cats.. i don't know .. > En tout cas, 9 comme 7 c'est magique. 3 fois la trinité. > anyway just like 7, 9 is a magic number : three times the Trinity.
