Zombie cat claws its way out of grave five days after being buried

The cat named Bart had a terrible week.

Gawker reports, first the cat—named Bart—was hit by a car. Then, thinking his cat was dead, Bart's owner buried him. But Bart wasn't dead.

The Human Society of Tampa Bay released a statement to ABC, explaining what happened to Bart after his owner discovered that he had been hit by a car: "The cat appeared to be lifeless and the owner buried him. Five days later, the cat showed up in a neighbors yard, alive!"

"He had dug himself out of the grave and slowly made his way back home, albeit in weak, dehydrated and in need of medical attention," the society explained.
