TAMPA, Fla. -- Bart the cat was hit by a car, buried and crawled back from the dead. Earlier this month, a car hit the 1 1/2-year-old cat in Tampa. Bart's owner was so distraught, he couldn't stand the thought of burying him, so he asked neighbor to dig a shallow grave. Five days later, a matted and injured Bart emerged, meowing for food. Bart had a broken jaw, a ruptured eye and a torn-up face. The Humane Society of Tampa Bay will help cover the costs of Bart's care.
