CHICAGO – Cats really do have nine lives.

Chicago Fire Department tweeted out a video of a black cat jumping out of the window of a burning Englewood building Thursday. Miraculously, the black cat landed on its feet and survived.

Firefighters caught the death-defying jump on video.

“Cat hit grass bounced and walked away!” Chicago fire tweeted.

2. I would have grabbed that cat

Looked into his mouth to see if his palate was broken.

Cats that fall/jump from great hights sometimes face grave injuries to thier brain and back from the impact,that can kill them in a few hours or days.

The broken palate is a sign of damage.

Cracked palate or not I would have scooped up his furry butt asap and took him to the emergency vet!

3. Agree that the cat should be checked

for possible injuries. But catching it to do that would be difficult, I think. It must have been frightened and traumatized by the experience. Probably took off to a quiet place to be alone.
