"Dead" kitty shows up five days after being buried

[AtomicKitten]

22. Hey, I saw that movie.

I recall a bird crashing into my upstairs window and lying seemingly dead on the patio. My daughter was ready to bury the bird, but I took it and put it in a room and shut the door. When I got back from the grocery store, the bird was quite alive. I opened the window and left the room, and he flew out and got on with his day.

I have terrible nightmares about accidentally burying a live pet. When my beloved bird died a couple years ago, I kept him in his covered cage overnight just to be sure before having him cremated.
