QUIRKY WORLD ... Cat-astrophe averted: Furry tail ending as posted puss is feline fine after special delivery

ENGLAND: A Siamese cat survived eight days in a box after she was accidentally put in the post by her owners.

‘Cupcake’ travelled with an order of DVDs from Falmouth in Cornwall to West Sussex, more than 260 miles away. Her owners sealed and posted the parcel two weeks ago, and it arrived safely at its destination eight days later.

The recipient was stunned to discover a dehydrated Cupcake inside the box along with the DVDs.
