In Shrewsbury, Shropshire, a cat named Nibbles survived alone for four weeks inside her late owner's home.
It is nothing short of a miracle. The cat was found alive in unsanitary conditions, in a property overrun with flies.
As reported by the BBC, Nibbles managed to fend for herself for a whole month after her owner passed away, two weeks before his body was discovered.
A desperate fight for survival
To stay alive, the clever little animal managed to tear open a bag of dry food and drank water straight from the toilet bowl.
Safe and sound at last
The rescue was carried out by local charity Stray Cat Rescue Team West Midlands. A friend of the deceased raised the alarm after not hearing from him for several days.
Fearing they would find the cat dead, rescuers forced entry into the home, only to be immensely relieved to find Nibbles alive.
Now safe, Nibbles is slowly recovering from her ordeal.
