Trapped in an Amazon return box: One Utah cat’s mistaken journey to California

By Karen Garcia, Los Angeles Times

Matt Clark needed to return five pairs of steel-toed work boots that he ordered from Amazon, so he packaged them up in a big box — along with the family cat.

Now, the family has a tale with a tail, all about the journey of Galena, a 6-year-old short-haired feline who traveled nearly 630 miles inside the sealed package from her home in Lehi, Utah, to an Amazon warehouse in Riverside in early April.

Clark’s wife, Carrie, said Galena loves to play in boxes, hide and hunt.
