Talk about having nine lives... In a recent incident from Utah, in the U.S., a couple was surprised to learn that their beloved pet was almost 804 kilometres away in Los Angeles. Unfortunate as it sounds, it was how the cat ended up so many miles away that has people scratching their heads. If reports are to be believed, the cat accidentally snuck into one of the couple's Amazon return packages, didn't make a peep, and was eventually discovered inside the box upon arrival at the warehouse. Here's what went on.

Carrie Clark recounted how their indoor-only cat, Galena, vanished without a trace on April 10. Over the following week, they, along with friends and family, combed through their home, neighbourhood, and nearby areas looking for her. They also put up missing posters throughout the town and across various social media platforms hoping for news.

After Galena's microchip was scanned by a vet on April 17, Carrie received a text and a follow-up call.¡°I didn¡¯t believe her at first and thought it was a prank,¡± Carrie said.
¡°I ran to tell my husband that Galena was found and we broke down upon realizing that she must have jumped into an oversized box that we shipped out the previous Wednesday. The box was a ¡®try before you buy,¡¯ and filled with steel-toed work boots.¡±
The pet cat was reportedly without food and water for six whole days. An Amazon employee named Brandy came to the Galena's rescue. "After talking to the vet, I got to talk to Brandy on the phone!¡± Carrie shared. ¡°She was so relieved to find out that we love Galena and were desperately looking for her.¡±
Carrie and her husband flew to Galena the next day and shared a sweet reunion.
