This three-year-old tabby is Lucky by name and nature, after miraculously surviving a 26-storey fall from his Manhattan apartment.
Owner Keri Hostetler had opened the window just a few centimetres to air the place out before she noticed Lucky was missing.
Meanwhile, two workmen on scaffolding on 30th floor of the opposite building saw the cat plunge from the ledge.
Lucky landed on a sixth floor balcony where one of the workmen, John Hayes, found him with only a broken toe and a broken lower jaw.
