Cat survives for 8 days after owner accidentally ships her with a box full of DVD's

Julie Bagott didn’t spot her pet sleeping inside the parcel full of DVD, from her home in Falmouth, in southwest England

After traveling for 260 miles, Cupcake arrived in Worthing, West Sussex, on the other side of the country.

The package’s recipients were stunned to open the box and find the cute cat curled up alongside the movies they’d bought.

Cupcake was “scared, nervous and very dehydrated,“ The Evening Standard reports. She was taken to Worthing’s Grove Lodge Veterinary Group for a health check, and identified via her microchip.”

Cupcake was reunited with her tearful owner, who thought she had been stolen. “I feel terrible about what’s happened, you know,” Baggott told BBC South Today.

“I mean, I put everything in the box and I sealed it straightaway, so I don’t know how she managed to get in there,” she added.

“It was a miracle because she was alive, she’s managed to survive that awful ordeal.”

Cat do have nine lives.
