Footage shared by Chicago firefighters shows a cat jumping out the fifth-floor window of a burning apartment building, and then walking away unscathed.CHICAGO -- A Chicago cat may now have eight lives after jumping out of a fifth-floor window Thursday afternoon to escape an apartment fire.of the exterior of the building as firefighters were extinguishing the blaze when a black cat appeared through billowing smoke at a broken window.
Onlookers gasped as the cat fell. But it missed a wall as it hurtled downward and instead landed on all four paws atop grass, where it bounced once and immediately ran away. “It went under my car and hid until she felt better after a couple of minutes and came out and tried to scale the wall to get back in,” said fire department spokesman Larry Langford.No injuries were reported after the fire, which was confined to one apartment. The cause of the fire hasn't been reported by officials, nor how much damage resulted.

Cats have 9 lives👍
I had a cat who fell out of a second storey window, I saw it happen, ran to the door and she just walked back in like nothing had happened
Go kitty go! Used its tail like a helicopter!
😮
Immortal cat
Hah when the 🐈 landed, it started chasing a 🦋 .
Synnamintwist Thank goodness
Did anyone check his shocks afterwards?
Kris_Sacrebleu I would say “apparently “ unscathed. Because I’m willing to bet it was somewhat scathed. Any follow up on it?

Thats 4 lives left
So they do land on their feet.
Cats are jerks, that cat probably started the fire. But I am very happy he looks to be ok.

That cat died instantly as soon as the shock hit

Eight?, That's pretty curious. In Spain we say the cat hat seven lives. It's much better to be an American cat..😀
JBONAMASSA Next time a cat is stuck in a tree just wait until it jumps down
Look at that shit.
tweetzydeetzy I dunno... I've known cats that went under a car's wheel and managed to sprint away only to die shortly after. I hope this beauty had no serious injuries...
Hoping Super Flying Cat got rescued by the firefighters & didn't run off...🖤🖤
A dog could never
Thank God. Go live kitty 🤗🤗
We see the cats shadow
good technique, mediocre landing. 8/10

I imagine he has injuries but adrenaline has taken over. He will be hurting in a few hours.
I need to be a cat the next go round, damn!
So firefighters are videotaping this instead of trying to assist someone’s pet. Disappointing.
Amazing and blessed for sure!!!

Wow makes my knees hurt just watching him do that
Chicago cats are real tough 🤣🤣😂
What
Wonder how they do it. Sure humans could too but have lost the innate talent? Consider Tarzan.
More proof that cats are total badasses🥰❣️
😳😳😳
Fun fact: cats have little parachute flaps under their arms for flying squirrel-like abilities. Pretty rad 🤘🏻
Eight lives left 😭😭😭😭😭 that fall damage took about 6 of them
Cats are amazing
