A Chicago cat may now have only eight lives after jumping out of a fifth-floor window to escape an apartment fireCHICAGO -- A Chicago cat may now have eight lives after jumping out of a fifth-floor window Thursday afternoon to escape an apartment fire. Chicago Fire Department personnel were taking a video of the exterior of the building as firefighters were extinguishing the blaze when a black cat appeared through billowing smoke at a broken window. The fire-fleeing feline briefly tested the side of the building with its front paws, and then jumped. The cat was not injured, Langford said, adding he was trying to track down its owner. The cause of the fire hasn't been reported by officials, nor how much damage resulted.
