The stowaway feline was eventually rescued after eight days when the recipient found her inside the package and called the RSPCA ( Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. )After a thorough check-up Cookie was found to be very dehydrated but otherwise alive and well.

"I feel terrible about what's happened, you know," said her owner, Julie. "I mean, I put everything in the box and I sealed it straight away, so I don't know how she managed to get in there."

"It was a miracle because she was alive, she's managed to survive that awful ordeal."
