Woman accidentally mails her cat in a box of DVDs 250 miles

A cat is alive and well after being trapped for eight days inside a box of DVDs.

Julie Baggott, of the U.K. was trying to mail some DVDs from Cornwall to Sussex when somehow her Siamese cat, Cupcake, managed to slip into the box.

"It was a pretty big box," Baggot admitted. "She'd obviously just fallen asleep in there."

After the 250-mile journey, the recipient of the box called the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, according to Inside Edition.

"She was quite dehydrated, obviously really scared," said veterinarian Ben Colwell. "She was lovely and pink, so she was really lucky."
