They are most people's favorite pets and have been domesticated since a long time ago.
We have also wild cats who just live their lives freely in the woods, forests or just stray around homes.
I have been hearing this phrase that cats have seven lives.
A certain minister from Iraq if am not wrong also quoted the fact that he had seven lives just like the cat before he died .
Is this true? Or it's one of the superstitions around?

I do not know about having the lives in humans but I do know cats are very agile and avoid a lot of hurts this way.

@evilamericans already gave you the right answer, cats have nine lives. Humans NOT.

It sure seems they have multiple lives, with all the scrapes they get into, and out of.

Ooh maybe that's a closer reason as to why they are regarded as having multiple lives
