A/N: My brother and I were discussing how cats have nine lives and as it is with everything for me, the conversation veered to Doctor Who. Thus, this was born. I hope you enjoy. Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who, or the _ for dummies series. I do however own a cat.
"Time Lords could regenerate and they were, well, a bit full of themselves. They didn't like to go anywhere, they mostly sat around in fancy dress on their planet talking politics and complaining about the absolute rubbish state of the universe.
In reality, they were a bit like cats. Of course, one of things humans don't know about cats is that cats did not originally reside on Earth. They are a product of Gallifrey.
Cats were considered the main pet of the Time Lords, they were similar in many ways and cats can regenerate nine times.
That is where the human myth about cats having nine lives come from.
Cats were also amazing hunters, and some were genetically manipulated into larger forms and divided into sections.
Tigers, Lions, Panthers, Pumas, Jaguars, Lynxes, Bobcats, and Cheetahs. For example, Cheetahs were the runners, they would chase any escaped prisoners and hunt them down. Each giant cat served a purpose and they fulfilled it wonderfully.
Of course, these cats were all but destroyed in the Time War. A few very rich individuals made a sort of ship for two of each kind of cat, like Noah's Ark and sent it to a habitable planet where they could hopefully retrieve them.
Unfortunately, all Time Lords were destroyed in the Time War and the cats prospered on the planet known as Earth.
Eventually though, the cats mated with a few of the feline species on Earth and they lost their ability to regenerate.
It's also why some cats seem very intelligent and many of their expressions are disturbingly human, they were once telepathic and able to communicate with Time Lords.
Human's were left with the remnants of the species known as Cat."
