Cat falls 19 stories, minor injuries

Cat falls 19 stories and only has minor bruising:

Cat Survives 19-Story Fall From Boston Apartment Building « CBS Boston

Most interesting quote "Surprisingly, rescuers say studies show cats have a better chance of surviving falls when they’re from higher than nine stories."
