The dead cat climbed out of the grave and returned home.

Black and white cat Bart from Tampa, Florida, died under the wheels of a car on the roadway. The grief-stricken owner asked a friend to bury the poor pet. What a surprise when, five days later, the cat appeared on the doorstep of the house: shabby and dirty, but alive, reports the Daily Mail.

Earlier this month, Ellis Hutson found his cat lying in the middle of a road in a pool of blood. Unable to say goodbye to his pet, Hutson asked his friend, David Liss, to bury him.

Five days after the funeral, Bart showed up near the house. He had a broken jaw and a damaged eye, and yet the cat was alive.

Still remains a mystery, as Bart got out. The owner assumes that his second cat, a good friend of Bart, found a friend and helped to dig up the ground. Most likely, this happened shortly after burial, but the animal was too scared to immediately return home.

Kotu has already successfully performed an operation on the jaw and removed the damaged eye. He is expected to recover for about 6 weeks, after which he will return to his family, writes AmericaRu.com
