Cats have 9 lives but octopuses only have 8 arms.

For German cats it would work then, I guess. If I'm not completely mistaken, they have only seven lives according to our saying.

Is 7 a lucky number in German culture? 7's often considered lucky so that actually makes a bit more sense than 9.

7 is a lucky number in Germany, I though that's wide spread? And the saying goes Cats have 7 lives. Maybe that's why German cats don't like diving in the ocean

You can also go to cloud 7 instead of cloud 9, which sounds like it's closer/easier to reach

If you are still high, do me a favor and contemplate on how air is actually a fluid and you are immersed in it at all times.

And if you weren't submerged in it, your blood would boil as you freeze to death in a vacuum! 😀

Damn that was a next level joke!

Only if a gun can be shot once. The joke doesn't really work but it's still funny.
