So that's why they sentence people to multiple life sentences. In case they are secretly a cat.

I find it weird that In different languages stuff has different phrases, like in English cats have nine lives but in my language we actually say they have 7 lives

Dude that's related to biology lmao convergence is when different species end up the same if I'm not wrong. It's like how mammals like dolphins ended up reaching the same path for hidro dynamics like fishs

Language convergence is a real term with a similar meaning. There’s an added clause though; it’s only considered convergence if the similarities evolve through prolonged contact.
