US cat defies death, digs its way out of grave to home

A cat, that was buried after being pronounced dead in a car accident in the US state of Florida, defied death and managed to dig its way out of the grave to return home.
Bart stunned its owner as it returned home five days after being hit by a car.
Bart's owner had accepted the loss after it was declared dead by vets and buried it in his Tampa backyard, but it appears the tough feline survived despite severe head trauma, a broken jaw and a dead eye, New York Daily News reported.
Ellis Huston thought he'd said his final goodbyes to beloved kittie Bart when he buried it in his Tampa backyard shortly after it was knocked down by a vehicle.

The gutsy pet had severe trauma to its head, a broken jaw and a dead eye. But it still begged for food. Bart was rushed to the vets, where medics said the cat would likely lose an eye but would hopefully survive, according to Fox 13.
Rescuers at the Tampa Bay Humane Society, where the cat is currently being treated, believed it may have regained consciousness shortly after being buried.
