猫有九条命唯独只有一颗心
[māo yŏu jiŭ tiáo mìng wéi dú zhĭ yŏu yī kē xīn]
As the proverb says, a cat is believed to have nine lives, meaning cats are resilient creatures that can get back up after numerous misadventures but still owns a single soulful, precious heart prone to feelings like devotion or hurt - highlighting a metaphorical contrast between physical toughness versus delicate emotions.
