Cat jumps from burning building, strolls away

A Chicago cat used up at least one of its nine lives on Thursday when it leaped from the fifth story of a burning building, bounced off the ground and casually walked away.

Fire crews were attending a small blaze in the city's Englewood neighborhood and were filming the building's exterior when the feline made its great escape.

The video showed a black cat launch itself out of the building, and picked up its remarkably smooth landing. Crowds can be heard gasping during the jump, and reacting with relief when the cat walked away.
