A cat in Montana may only have 8 lives left. She survived after being left in freezing temperatures for hours.

The cat named Fluffy was found nearly frozen and unresponsive. The owner took her to a vet's office after finding her in a snowbank when the temperature outside was ten degrees.

Dr. Jevon Clark, who works at the Animal Clinic of Kalispell, told ABC News when they brought Fluffy to the clinic her temperature was so low it didn't even register on a thermometer -- with a bottom range of 90 degrees. According to Clark, cats' temperatures normally are around 101 degrees.

Doctors used warm water, warming blankets, heating pads and heated cages to bring her temperature up.

Fluffy has recovered, and is back home. One change for Fluffy though: She's now an indoor cat.

Poor kitty kitty. Should have never been outside to begin with.
Agree, but maybe Fluffy was like one of our cats who will hide until a door is open and then bolt out. Ours got out the day that the temps were about -10 and we all freaked out trying to get him to come back in, but he kept running away from us. Fortunately, he got tired of playing in the cold after a couple of minutes and ran back to the house.
