Cats are hearty animals, man, and you’re about to hear a tale (tail?) of one tough little sonovabitch. Bart, a young cat in Tampa, Florida, was buried alive by its owner, who thought he was dead after getting hit by a car. But Bart proved everyone wrong by climbing from his own grave.
ABC reports that the cat appeared to be lifeless, and the owner buried him. Five days later the cat showed up in a neighbor’s yard… alive! “Bart had dug himself out of the grave and slowly made his way back home, albeit in weak, dehydrated [condition] and in need of medical attention,” explained a rep from The Humane Society of Tampa Bay, who is now tending to the little guy’s injuries.
The society believes he will be at home recovering soon.
