When their fat levels fall, many will migrate.However, if they wait too long, they will not have enough fat to make the journey.

A cat has nine lives
A cat is said to have nine lives because it’s more tenacious of life than many animals. People always think that due to the speed, cleverness and flexibility of cats, they can stay alive in most difficult situations when other animals would have been killed, such as a dangerous fall. Now, people use this idiom to metaphorize someone who has great vitality.
