IT was a very lucky Friday the 13th for this little kitty who was stabbed in the head — and miraculously survived.

The cat, nicknamed Zelonyy (or Mr Green), was found with a giant kitchen knife buried inches deep in its tiny skull.

RuptlyTV reports local resident Lyudmila Alexeeva found the cat in the Crimean city of Sevastopol and rushed him to a vet where the blade was surgically removed.

“When I went to look for him I found him hiding under a bush and was shocked to see a knife sticking out of his head even though he was still alive,” she told local TV, according to Ebuzzword.

Natalia Morozova, president of the Sevastopol charity fund for homeless animals, said authorities believe the cat was stabbed on February 13, days before it was found.

“The knife was wedged in the skull and the cat had probably run off before its attacker could remove the blade,” she said.

The feline is expected to make a full recovery. An investigation is underway.
