In a bizarre example of a cat’s nine lives, a fortunate feline survived nineteen days with a peanut butter jar stuck on its head. While no exact details are known as to how the jar found its way there in the first place (cats like peanut butter?), we’re pretty sure Jiffy will be off the menu from now on.

From the article:

“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 with the jar on its head and tried in vain to catch it. But after not seeing the cat for a week, the Cains feared the worst.

“I thought she was going to die with that jar on her head,” said Tabitha Cain, 25.

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

I know the situation for both the animal and the owners must have been terribly traumatic. But after the fact, it’s pretty funny to think about a cat running by with its head in a peanut butter jar. Yea, I’m going to hell.
