Cat reunited with family after being posted in Canada by mistake

A cat in Canada has been reunited with its family for Christmas after being put in the post by mistake.

Baloo appears to have crawled into a parcel his owner was packing and got stuck inside.

The cheeky cat, who lives in Nova Scotia, was then sent 750 miles away to the Canadian city of Montreal.

After a journey of around 17 hours, a parcel company spotted Baloo and took him to a local animal rescue centre.

From there his owners were tracked down and Baloo is now back at home safe and sound.

That's what we call a purr-fect ending to this story!
