A cat, Galena, survived being shipped all the way from Lehi, Utah, across the US to California after sneaking into the package. Galena, six, an indoor-only cat, traveled more than 500 miles in a 3-by-3ft shipping container, according to NBC. Galena endured six days of travel with no food or water, but was discovered in relatively good shape by an Amazon employee. Do you think Galena's story will prompt more awareness campaigns about pet safety during shipping and handling?

Brandy Hunter, an Amazon worker at a California warehouse, said co-workers informed that they had found a cat in a returned package, Hunter said on Facebook. Hunter, who self-described as a "crazy cat lady", took Galena in for the night, then to a local veterinarian.When the vet scanned Galena's microchip the Clarks were instantly notified, and the vet also called the Clarks to confirm Galena was now in their care. Should all pet owners consider microchipping their pets as a safety measure? Yes
