Am having a hard time getting my head around this one.

LONDON - A tough Siamese cat named Cupcake has survived eight days cooped up in a box after accidentally being sent through the mail by her British owners.

Cupcake was in a box with an order of DVDs that was sent from Cornwall in southwestern England to West Sussex in south-central England.

The recipient found a badly dehydrated Cupcake in the box along with the DVDs and contacted the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for help. The RSPCA traced the owners through the cat's microchip.

I think I would rename Cupcake to LUCKY!!!

Take care,

Those DVD must have smelled DELIGHTFUL.

I am surprised that it doesn't happen more often. I have never had an opened box that one of my darlins didn't quickly hop into.

From Cornwall to Sussex in EIGHT DAYS. signs081 Britain must have some pretty rotten delivery systems. I get most of my online orders in a day or two. And the U.S. is a lot bigger than England.

Maybe it was the smell that slowed the delivery. I can just imagine the postal people holding their noses and saying, "I aint touchin that mate."

Read about poor Cupcake earlier, she was in pretty rough shape, amazing she survived for so long with it any water.
I know how frantic cat people can get if their kitty goes missing, I cannot recall how many times we had a candle burning for missing pets. For Mozzy it was 21 days.
