Meet Amazing Grace the cat that had a nail driven through its head and survived

This little cat had a miracle escape after a thug drove a nail into her head.

The moggy - dubbed Amazing Grace - was found in Sioux City, Iowa, with the nail buried in its skull.

The cat was amazingly walking around in good condition when it was found, before a surgeon could pull out the three-inch nail.

"I've never seen anything like this. And to still have the cat be alive, It's just amazing," said Cindy Rarrat of Animal Control.
