From News24 :

France - Curiosity - or maybe it was a scurrying mouse - almost got the better of a cat which found itself accidentally shipped off to France from the United States on a three-week journey at sea without water or food. But Emily, a striped one-year-old feline from the US state of Wisconsin, somehow survived being locked in a container for the long trip and was discovered, thinner but in healthy form, when workers at a French office supply company opened their sealed cargo box on Tuesday.

 

An identification collar with a veterinarian's US telephone number allowed them to trace the hapless animal and contact its owners in the town of Appleton...the US owners sent a photograph to confirm it was their Emily, as well as her vaccination records. In the meantime, the cat was being kept in quarantine, where it would stay for around another 30 days before being sent back home.

 

Of course this begs the question - if we put Manto in a container and sent her to France, could we convince the French to keep her...?
