Cats/kittens can swim well, even though they hate water and will avoid it when at all possible. Being resilient animals, they can fall from 10 stores up, land on their legs always, and rarely are injured. Hence 9 lives..
My grandfathers wristwatch (for me, it's a railroad time-piece) is/was made amazingly well for it's time. Probably why it's still here and working well to this day. I doubt any average wristwatch will stand up to its comparible abuse and age, yet while still working 50 years later, and has never needed or seen a repair shop.
