Cat survives 8 days posted in a box!

[Tobi]

Cupcake the Siamese cat was accidentally posted along with a consignment of DVDs!
She survived the ordeal of 8 days in the mail! And is now reunited with her people who are overjoyed to get her back.

(If that's not a warning to cats to stay out of cardboard boxes....I don't know what is!)

I was just about to post about this when I realized that you had already done it.

I heard about it on my phone so I was looking it up on my computer and got a surprize.  Cats getting shipped is pretty common.

It seems that there is a history to cats getting sent places.

I am not sure this was so good an idea for the cats involved.

There were a number of other stories so it is obvious that cats have made a habit of getting sent places by post and package.

People have to check their boxes more carefully that's for sure!

Cats have a way of getting into things. Think how often you hear about a cat getting into a moving van and ending up a thousand miles away. I suppose we should wonder that it doesn`t happen more often.
