[NYT] Stowaway Cat Gets From Utah to California in Amazon Returns Package

@ASV_Vites

That can’t be the actual box because:

1. Not enough room IMHO
2. There would be cat pee pee and poo poo all over it after that many days.
3. Unless the cat was declawed (which is illegal in most states and down right barbaric) - those boxes would not look seemingly perfect

@ModernSwitch

Glad I’m not the only one who is sus about this as well.

@GGX

There’s other things sus about this story too. Usually processing returns is a low priority thing at FC (one of the reasons they refund on scan) and any animal inside would likely be dead before anyone looks in the box, and I’ve never seen a box with a busted seam like that not explode somewhere in a UPS sorting facility, not to mention that offers a way for the cat to scratch/squeeze it’s way out (remember that a cat can squeeze through a fairly small space).

The KSL News video linked in our friend @SallyAnne’s 28Apr24 “Fun With Wild Animals” thread post here has better images of the inside of the box:

What is it about cats and boxes anyway??? Stowaway cat shipped 650 miles from home in Amazon box (ktre.com)
