It looks like cats really do have nine lives

There’s a new viral cat on the internet and its name is Hennessy.

Over the weekend, a video of a feline taking a flying leap of faith from the fifth story during a building fire and remarkably landing on its feet is making its rounds. 

The clip, which was posted by the Chicago Fire Department and has over 1 million views, shows a black cat launch itself from the apartment building. In the background, the crowd gasps as it falls to the ground. Those gasps are met with relief when the cat lands safely on all fours and scurries away. 

“Nine lives for a cat that jumped from fire at 65th and Lowe. Cat hit grass bounced and walked away!” the fire department wrote.  

The now-famous feline, sadly, is still missing in Englewood, the department confirmed.  Here’s hoping there’s a happy reunion in the near future.
