It registers directly by placing each hind paw close to the track of the corresponding fore paw, minimizing noise and visible tracks. This also provides sure footing for hind paws when navigating rough terrain. As it speeds up from walking to trotting, its gait changes to a "diagonal" gait: The diagonally opposite hind and fore legs move simultaneously.<sup id="cite_ref-Christensen_2004_72-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Christensen_2004-72">&#91;72&#93;</a></sup>

<p>Most breeds of cat are notably fond of sitting in high places, or <i>perching</i>. A higher place may serve as a concealed site from which to hunt; domestic cats strike prey by pouncing from a perch such as a tree branch. Another possible explanation is that height gives the cat a better observation point, allowing it to survey its territory. A cat falling from heights of up to 3 meters (9.8&#160;ft) can right itself and land on its paws.<sup id="cite_ref-Kent_et_al._2010_73-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kent_et_al._2010-73">&#91;73&#93;</a></sup>

<p>Domestic cats, especially young kittens, are known for their love of play. This behavior mimics hunting and is important in helping kittens learn to stalk, capture, and kill prey.<sup id="cite_ref-148" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-148">&#91;148&#93;</a></sup> Cats also engage in play fighting, with each other and with humans.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Superstitions_and_rituals">Superstitions and rituals</span></h3>
<p>Many cultures have negative <a href="/wiki/Superstition" title="Superstition">superstitions</a> about cats. An example would be the belief that encountering a <a href="/wiki/Black_cat" title="Black cat">black cat</a> ("crossing one's path") leads to bad luck, or that cats are witches' <a href="/wiki/Familiar_spirit" class="mw-redirect" title="Familiar spirit">familiars</a> used to augment a witch's powers and skills. The killing of cats in Medieval <a href="/wiki/Ypres" title="Ypres">Ypres</a>, <a href="/wiki/Belgium" title="Belgium">Belgium</a>, is commemorated in the innocuous present-day <a href="/wiki/Kattenstoet" title="Kattenstoet">Kattenstoet</a> (cat parade).<sup id="cite_ref-227" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-227">&#91;227&#93;</a></sup> In mid-16th century France, <a href="/wiki/Cat-burning" class="mw-redirect" title="Cat-burning">cats would be burnt alive</a> as a form of entertainment. According to <a href="/wiki/Norman_Davies" title="Norman Davies">Norman Davies</a>, the assembled people "shrieked with laughter as the animals, howling with pain, were singed, roasted, and finally <a href="/wiki/Carbonization" title="Carbonization">carbonized</a>".<sup id="cite_ref-228" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-228">&#91;228&#93;</a></sup>

The people collected the embers and ashes of the fire and took them home, believing that they brought good luck. The French kings often witnessed these spectacles and even lit the bonfire with their own hands. In 1648 <a href="/wiki/Louis_XIV" title="Louis XIV">Louis XIV</a>, crowned with a wreath of roses and carrying a bunch of roses in his hand, kindled the fire, danced at it and partook of the banquet afterwards in the town hall. But this was the last occasion when a monarch presided at the midsummer bonfire in Paris.

<p>According to a myth in many cultures, cats have multiple lives. In many countries, they are believed to have nine lives, but in Italy, Germany, Greece, Brazil and some Spanish-speaking regions, they are said to have seven lives,<sup id="cite_ref-230" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-230">&#91;230&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-231" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-231">&#91;231&#93;</a></sup> while in Arabic traditions, the number of lives is six.<sup id="cite_ref-232" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-232">&#91;232&#93;</a></sup> An early mention of the myth can be found in <a href="/wiki/John_Heywood" title="John Heywood">John Heywood</a>'s <i>The Proverbs of John Heywood</i> (1546):<sup id="cite_ref-233" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-233">&#91;233&#93;</a></sup>
