I sold a cat on Ebay and as soon as I got the payment I sent the cat
by UPS.  I was very careful to thoroughly wrap the cat in newspaper,
after I duct taped it's legs to the body to be sure it would not claw
thru the box.  Then I proceeded by placing it in a plastic hefty bag.
Then I wrapped many layers of bubble wrap, and finally put the cat in
a sturdy cardboard box, and taped it shut.  Then I wrapped that box
with yet another box, and taped it well.  This insures the cat was
safe and secure.

The buyers just got the cat and claim it was dead when it arrived.  I
know they are lying, and just trying to get a refund.  I plan to file
a complaint against them with Ebay.  There is no way that cat could
have died in there.  It was wrapped securely and even if the box had
been dropped, the cat was well padded.  I also put some cat food in
there for the cat so it would not be hungry in route.

PS. This was an expensive breed of cat, not just a common house cat.
This buyer is just trying to f*ck me over.

Quit bitching and send him a replacement.

Oh please.  His grammar and spelling are far better than the majority of NG
trolls.  Give credit where credit is due.

Neither eBay nor UPS will help. Selling pussy is illegal. Sending it across
state lines is a Federal rap.

Not secure enough.
I suggest http://www.kittybonsai.com/ for packing suggestions.
