Zombie Cat: Buried Kitty Believed Dead, Meows Back to Life - ABC News
A cat in Florida that was hit by a car and then buried is apparently back from the dead.
"I was so shocked," owner Ellis Hutson told ABC News. "I didn’t know really what to do."
And today, Bart the cat is having surgery at the Humane Society to repair his jaw and remove his eye.
The cat's owner, Hutson, 52, said he found Bart the cat two weeks ago in the middle of the road, lifeless in a puddle of blood.
Five days later, the cat showed up in a neighbor's yard alive, but weak, dehydrated and in need of medical attention.
"I open the door and my neighbor's standing there with the cat in her hand," Hutson said. "She said, 'Bart is not dead.' I said, 'That’s impossible. We buried Bart.'"
Bart has been treated for a broken jaw, open facial wounds and a ruined eye. The Humane Society veterinarians expect him to recover and be able to return home after recovering a couple days.
