Blimey, that’s a good question…..

The same, 9 works in metric systems also!

English speed limits and distances aren’t metric!

You can calculate this with a catalytic converter.

To answer that question you need to know the metric equivalent of a life.

Actually, they have 8.23 metric lives….

No, you divide by 5, multiply by 8 and add 32…

Do Cats in England officially recognize the Metric System?

What, prey tell, does the metric system have to do with a cat’s nine lives?

Cats in England refuse to use anything invented in France, they stick with the old pound, shilling, pence system. It works out to about twelve and a half lives depending on the exchange rate.

It is a bit of a mish mash in the UK, to be fair. Here is an interesting article on what is used where and by who – https://yougov.co.uk/topics/society/articles-reports/2022/04/07/metric-or-imperial-what-measures-do-britons-useIn general long distances are measured in miles, but for short distances it is usually metric (but some still use feet and inches). Most things are metric though

Since lives, in this case, are measured by time, the metric system does not have a time measurement. They tried in the late 1700s but the farmers ignored it and it metric time was soon dropped.

The kilometer is used in many European countries.

In fact the metric system is used in CANADA.

Cute kid really cute

Oh Dude! It’s 420 Day!

They still have 9 lives.

Fewer, not less, in this instant. According to QI, English cats have 9 lives.

“more or fewer”

Cats still have a litre of kittens

It does vary by country, word is.. in China they have but one. In France, the mother of metric, probably ten.

If each life = an inch, then in metrics it’s 228.6 lives…

Skyler, it depends on how often the liter box is cleaned!!!

No, Skyler, they don’t — they have Friskies™ instead! d;o)
