And the dead shall rise up....

Or he is Kitty Jesus who has come to bring salvation to catdom. God is tired of humans and is offering eternal life to cats so that they can rule the world after we are gone.

The story says the cat was in the ground for 5 days... That's some "Pet Cemetary" stuff there.

Not quite

I witnessed him bury the cat."

Five days later, the cat showed up in a neighbor's yard alive, but weak, dehydrated and in need of medical attention.

Unlikely that the cat was buried for the time... suffocation kills all 9 lives.
More likely a couple of minutes while the people left. Dug its way out and wandered for 5 days.

But good example of how simple stories get exaggerated in the telling.
Thanks

Actually it's an example of how someone doesn't want to believe the facts as they are given, so they change them to fit what they believe.
