Custody battle brewing over ‘Zombie Cat’

The latest in the thickening plot line ripped from an animal version of “The Walking Dead”: The executive director of the Tampa Humane Society announced the group would not be returning the cat to its owner.

Bart, or “Zombie Cat” as he has come to known by social media, was discovered “unresponsive” by his owner last week lying in a pool of blood. His body was cold and his face was severely disfigured, representatives from the Tampa Humane Society said.

The cat’s owner, Ellis Hutson, told the Humane Society that he buried his pet with the help of a neighbor.

“I believe [Hutson] cares about the cat,” Silk said, but “we are prepared to fight to keep the cat.”

Calls to Hutson were not immediately returned.
