Cat Survives 19 Days With Jar Stuck On Head
Family Catches Cat With Fishing Net, Removes Object

BARTLETT, Tenn. -- Tabitha Cain has fed a feral cat she calls Wild Oats for several years, but now she's thinking of changing its name to Survivor.

That's because she said the cat survived for 19 days with a peanut butter jar stuck on its head.

"We tried to get her, but being the type of cat you can't catch, she kept running and hiding," said Doretha Cain, Tabitha's mother.

The family saw the cat several times and tried in vain to catch her. She disappeared for a week, and the Cains feared the worst.

"I thought she was going to die with that jar on her head," Tabitha Cain said.

They found the once chubby cat on Wednesday, too thin and weak to escape. They caught her with a fishing net and used some oil to get the jar off her head.

They gave her water and treated her wounds and on Friday she began to eat again.

"I've heard of cats having nine lives but I think this one has 19 because she survived 19 days," Doretha Cain said.

Dr. Gerald Blackburn, a veterinarian at Gentle Care Animal hospital in Memphis, said he's heard similar stories of pets getting trapped for days or even weeks at a time and surviving.

Blackburn said the cat may have lived off of its excess fat, but Doretha Cain had another explanation.

"God will take care of animals just like people because that cat is really a miracle," she said.

Somewhere, someday, a picture of that cat with FAIL in big white letters on it will surface.

My favorite was a stroy from about seven years ago where a dog in some rinky-dink town in Alabama got a pickled pig's feet jar stuck on it's head. Apparently it was wandering around the town for days before someone finally grabbed it and go the jar off.

I was doing a college radio show at the time and New You Cannot Use was one of our features. So I read off that story and we made it a trivia contest -- whoever could guess in what state that happened won some concert tickets.

Best contest we ever ran. Our lines were jammed and it took about 12 guesses before someone came up with 'Bama. I thought that would have been the first guess!
