Tampa Bay cat miraculously returns from the dead and grave, dubbed Zombie Kitty (videos)

It's a story that has to be seen to be believed, and after watching the video below, you may just have faith. When looking for a logical conclusion, one will undoubtedly decide the cat was never dead. At least, that's a better explanation than believing in a real live Zombie Kitty.  But let's go back a bit, and get the facts, before we determine if this cat has miraculously returned from the dead; or was buried alive.

Bart AKA Zombie Kitty: Humane Society Tampa Bay

The tale begins on Jan. 17, 2015, Ellis Huston is Bart's owner and recieved news that Bart had been hit by a car. Huston's neighbor, Dusty Albritton, witnessed seeing Bart in a pool of blood and described the cat as stiff. She told the sad news to Bart's owner who then buried the cat by a beloved tree. The mourning period had begun. Ironically, Albritton was mourning a cat at the same time. That mourning was cut short when Bart suddenly emerged five days later.

Albritton shared much of her thoughts regarding Bart's death and reactions to Bart's (Markie's) subsequent arrival five days later on her personal Facebook page.

According to Albritton, five days later, Bart approached her meowing. She was in a state of shock and couldn't believe the cat she had seen buried was seeking food from her. She notified Bart's owner, who was also in a state of shock. After carefully observing and monitoring Bart's condition, they brought him to the Animal Health Center at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. Bart has suffered a number of health conditions and will undergo surgery.

Albritton described the incident and initial shock to seeing Bart alive to Tampa Bay's Fox 13 news, "You knew it was him because his face was messed up. And he's just sitting there, looking at me purring, wanting food, but obviously, he couldn't eat. And I'm just...I'm just in shock...like...this is God's miracle. This...this doesn't happen.

What do you think about this story? Is Bart a true miracle or is this just a case of a cat living out his nine lives?


 

Here's a video from Albritton and Bart's owner following Bart's (Markie's) return.
