Cats Have Nine Lives? Hit by a Car and Buried, This Cat Called ‘Bart’ Crawls Out of the Grave

Like a scene out of Romero's Night of the Living Dead, one extremely lucky cat managed to claw himself out of his own grave. Hit by a car five days earlier and thought to be dead, his owners buried him and said their goodbyes. However, Bart the cat clearly had some of his nine cat lives still left in him because he was found injured, weak, but very much alive in a neighbor's yard.

Photos of Bart's mangled body after being found alive and out of his grave on Jan. 21 may make you think of Stephen King's Pet Sematary, but Bart's owner couldn't be happier to see that his beloved cat was still alive and had a second chance at life.
