Baloo the cat is back at home after being mistakenly shipped to Montreal
HALIFAX — Much to the relief of his loving family, Baloo the cat came back — just not the very next day — after being mistakenly shipped 1,200 kilometres away.
“There’s been lots of treats and lots of belly rubs,” said his owner, Jackie Lake.
Baloo’s 10-day-long ordeal began when he snuck into a box of tire rims to catch a quick catnap in his Halifax-area home, not knowing that the box he had crawled into would soon be on its way to Alberta.
Lake taped up the box and shipped it off on Dec. 6. The next day, she noticed that Baloo was missing and spent the weekend frantically searching her Dartmouth neighborhood for the beloved pet.
