L9(1)：Flying cats

Cats never fail to fascinate human beings.

They can be friendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives of their own as well.

They never become submissive like dogs and horses.

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

Most cats remain suspicious of humans all their lives.

One of the things that fascinates us most about 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 on fact.

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