Rise of the zombie cat: Pet who was 'killed' and buried climbed out of his grave five days later

A cat that was run  down by a car and written off for dead apparently clawed its way out of the  grave and made its way home to be fed.

Bart, a pet found  on the street in a pool of blood more than a week ago, was pronounced dead by  vets in Tampa, Florida.

But five days  later he was outside owner Ellis Huston's house again expected dinner - albeit  with a gruesome wound which makes him look the part for a member of the living  dead - and means he will lose an eye.

I have said this before, I’ll say it again:

Cats are EVIL.

Poor little thing. I hope he gets the care he needs to survive in comfort and good health.

Poor kitty. His owners must be so happy, though.

A cat that was run down by a car

Flame suit on! Unless you live out in the country and have a barn, that's why you don't allow your cat to roam freely outside.........

As a side note, Sunday morning I passed the same body of a cat lying on the side of a street for the past three weeks whose decomposition has been slowed down due to the sub freezing temperatures....

While the poor cat may have been feral, I can't help but think about the ignorance of the family that may have owned that cat and allowed it to roam outside......

I can’t watch that movie. I’ve seen it once and it was profoundly disturbing.

That was my first thought exactly. “I’ve seen this movie, it didn’t end well”

Several years ago, we got a call from my mother in law who was in hysterics. Their beloved black cat, “Nosey” was hit by a car in front of their house. My Father in law scraped it up, put it in a shoe box while my mother in law when to buy flowers. They then, along with my sister in law drove over to the grandmother’s house a few miles away and buried this cat and had a full funeral. After being consoled, they drove home to find....

Nosey sitting on the front step looking at them like “Where have you been? I’m hungry!!”.

Yep, they buried the wrong cat.

I have to agree. When I was a kid, we lived on a pretty quiet street, and let our cat go outside when it wanted to.

One night, it didn’t come home. We called everywhere, trying to find out what happened. Finally, animal control (called ‘The Pound’, back then) told my grandmother that a cat fitting his description had been found in our neighborhood hanging around with a feral cat that had given birth. They were all picked up by the animal control, when someone called to complain about them.

Our cat had been adopted from the pound, and they gave my granny the name and number of the lady who adopted him.

Grandmother called, and the lady said that the cat had stayed with her a few days, and then escaped; and she hadn’t seen it again. From her description of him and his behaviors, we were sure it was our cat. The woman lived about three miles from us.

Weeks went by. I mourned that cat horribly - I remember sitting in school where we were reading a little primer that had a story about a cat; and I was trying my best not to sob in front of all the other kids. It was the first real loss of my 6 or 7 year-old life.

And then, one night, after about a month, we heard a cat crying outside; our Duke had come back. He was horribly dirty, thin, hungry and thirsty; but it was our cat.

From that moment, I have never doubted the possibility of miracles.

That cat lived to be over 20 years old; I had him until I was about 22. But I can’t believe that even after all this happened, the parents still let him go outside! I guess it’s just the way people thought back then; and he couldn’t be litter-trained.

Fortunately, nothing else bad ever happened. But after I was grown, I never let a cat outside.
