Five Days After Burial, Tampa Cat Crawls Back From Grave

Eleven days ago, Ellis Hutson found his cat Bart in the middle of E 113th Avenue. He had just been hit by a car and wasn’t breathing.

“I couldn’t stand to bury the cat,” the 52-year-old said, so he asked his neighbor Dave to dig 1 ½-year-old Bart a shallow grave next to the street.

Five days later, hair matted and much the worse for wear, Bart was back, somehow managing to escape his grave. He meowed at Hutson’s neighbor, Dusty Albritton, for some food on Jan. 21.
