A Japanese woman living in Spain miraculously emerges unscathed from an automobile accident. To show her gratitude she adopts a cat and names it Aristotle. Why is that?

Cats have nine lives.
The nine kinds of accident according to Aristotle are quantity, quality, relation, habitus, time, location, situation (or position), action, and passion ("being acted on").

The cat was Ari Gato (Japanese for thanks, Gato is Spanish for cat).
 
According to Google translate.
Spanish: "gato", translates to "cat".
Japanese: "ari gato", translates to "thank you".
Japanese: "aristotle", translates to "thank you very much".

This must be deep, or I must be thick.

Mr Onassis was often called Ari.
