A cat accidentally shipped herself from Utah to an Amazon warehouse center in California by cozying up in a box her parents marked for return, local news outlet KSL-TV reports. Amazon employees were startled to find her next to several pairs of boots in the oversized box shipped out for return the previous week. “I didn’t believe it at first and thought it was a prank,” pet owner Carrier Clark 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.”
A stroke of luck: Galena survived because the return box was split open on one seam giving her oxygen and weather temperatures was thankfully mild, so the cat didn’t overheat or freeze.
