The cat ventures behind the Mini's father's car rear wheel and is killed accidentally while the car is reversed. The cat is buried in the backyard without the knowledge of Bunty. Bunty finds another cat which bears an uncanny resemblance to the dead cat. The scenario where dead cat came back alive inspired from Pet Sematary which came in 1991. At last scene you can see Bunty holding the cat in his room and the movie ending with spooky sounds.
