Nine Lives Metal Bookmark

This Nine Lives metal bookmark celebrates the enduring legend of cats' "nine lives," a familiar motif found in folklore across cultures. A charming museum-quality gift for cat lovers and readers, this decorative metal bookmark combines literary use with the history and symbolism of one of the world's most beloved animals.

In many cultures, there is a myth that cats have multiple lives. Some believe that cats have nine lives. In Italy, Germany, Greece, and some Spanish-speaking regions, they are said to have seven. In Turkish and Arabic traditions, it is six. This myth probably originated from the fact that cats have an instinctive righting reflex, which usually lands them on their feet.
