the cat who jumped from a fifth floor to escape a fire and fell to his feet

A building was on fire in the town of Chicago (United States). Firefighters arrived at the intersection of 65th and Lowe streets and began filming the entire operation as they battled the flames to smother the fire. And so something fell from the sky. A cat? Yes, the cat made an impressive jump.

From one of the tower windows you could see a column of black smoke rising in the sky. Knowing that the only chance to stay alive was to escape by jumping, the cat began to analyze the height and where it should fall. He spotted the grass and gathered the courage to make an impressive leap from the fifth floor.

Before jumping, we see how the feline gains momentum with its front paws on the edge of the window and then he landed solidly on the grass on all fours, rebounded and escaped like nothing.

In the air, took a pose by stretching his legs and then when he hit the ground he settled down and just started walking to seek new refuge. As it flew through the air, all witnesses to the cat’s shocking escape were alarmed. No one imagined that the animal was going to make such a perfect descent.

The images were posted by Chicago firefighters on their Twitter account. and they reported that the friendly mascot is called Hennessy and that the scene of the incident was a huge multi-story building, which caught fire and the fire was located on the fifth floor.

“He went under my car and hid until he felt better after a few minutes, he got out and tried to climb the wall into the building.”said the spokesperson for the fire department Larry Langford.
