L9(1)：Flying cats

Cats never fail tofascinate human beings.

They can befriendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives oftheir own as well.

  They never become submissive like dogs andhorses.

  As a result，humans have learned to respect feline independence.

Most cats remainsuspicious of humans all their lives.

  One of the things that fascinates us mostabout cats is the popular belief that they have nine lives.

  Apparently，there is a good deal of truth in this idea.

  A cat's ability to survive falls is based onfact.

  Recently the New York Animal Medical Centermade a study of 132 cats over a period of five months.
