Frisky feline acrobatics - an amazing news photography - at 51 Fair Street in Paterson, New Jersey, on Dec. 6, 1941. As firefighters attempted to rescue her, a grey cat belonging to Mrs. Fanny Levinson survived a daredevil dive unscathed after more than a day meowing perched atop a 40-foot wash-line pole. Once home, Mrs. Levinson fed the frightened flying cat a bowl of milk.
