Nine Lives is a six-book children’s series by Lucy Daniels, published between 1999 and 2001. The series follows three groups of cats, each trio named with themed names: Emerald, Amber, and Jet; Ginger, Nutmeg, and Clove; and Daisy, Buttercup, and Weed. The first three books introduce each trio, and the second three follow up with return adventures.

The structure gives the series a unique format within the Lucy Daniels catalog. Instead of focusing on a single animal per book or a single main character across the series, each book juggles three cat characters and their interconnected stories.
