She cashed in one of her nine lives in this cat-astrophe.

A cat survived a terrifying 380-foot fall that killed her two owners at a popular Utah landmark, according to the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office.

Tourists Matthew Nannen, 45, and Bailee Crane, 58, were visiting Inspiration Point at Utah’s scenic Bryce Canyon National Park with their elderly tabby — now named Mirage — when the trio took a fateful plunge on Monday night or Tuesday morning, the Salt Lake Tribune reported, citing the sheriff’s office.

Mirage, who is estimated to be 12 years old, was found by hikers on Tuesday night in a soft black pet carrier and in remarkably good condition near the bodies of her guardians, the outlet reported.

Nannen and Crane were identified by the sheriff’s office on Wednesday, according to CBS News.

The fortunate feline only suffered two fractured canine teeth and a few fractured ribs — but miraculously “seemed to have weathered the fall fairly well,” Best Friends Animal Sanctuary said.

“She was matted and a bit sore, but is friendly upon examination, as well as drinking and eating on her own,” the rescue told the outlet.

Mirage also had normal bloodwork, suffered no internal injuries — and is responding well to heaps of attention and regular head rubs, the sanctuary said.

Nannen and Crane appeared to be living out of a U-Haul and recently came to Utah from Arizona, with their last known permanent residence being in Florida, according to the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office.

It is not known how the couple fell, but they are thought to have crossed the guardrails at Inspiration Point, according to CBS News.

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary will seek a relative of the deceased to take in Mirage and will seek an adoption home if that effort fails, the Tribune reported.

Inspiration Point offers three levels that overlook the rock formation known as the Bryce Amphitheater, the world’s largest collection of rock spires called “hoodoos,” according to the National Park Service.
