Cat maims Postman
Terrified postmen are refusing to deliver mail to a house â because they are scared of a dangerous CAT.
| Cat's, why do they hate us? |
They say their hands are being ripped to shreds by ginger tom Bat as they shove post through the cat flap.
"Doc, every time I put my hand through the flap it gets ripped to shreds!"
"Well, stop doing that." |
The posties also claim the six-year-old moggie claws their legs with vicious swipes. Now bosses have sent owner Dan Coyne a letter saying deliveries are suspended because of the âguard catâ.
Stunned Dan, 23, said last night: âI canât believe they are scared of him.â
But the sales manager did admit: âBat is a bit of a psycho and has been known to launch himself at people. âHe gets very wound up by the postman and sits under the cat flap waiting for him. As the postie pushes the letters through, Iâve seen Bat try to swipe him with his claws.'
| I'll bet the cat watches the clock and is waiting for them to show up. |
âHe was a rescue cat and is only little â but he does get stroppy.â
The Royal Mail letter said: âThe postmen are experiencing problems with your Guard Cat. Sounds ridiculous I know, but as they deliver through the flap the cat scratches them. More incredible than this, your cat has been known to jump on the postmenâs leg and dig its claws in.â
| Go ahead laugh, cat owners know cats are a soft bundle of fluff covering a handful of razor blades. |
Dan said he has a letter box, but posties used the flap because it was easier. He added: âIf they are that scared they should use the box. It is ridiculous.âThe Royal Mail said: âStaff safety is paramount. We are discussing the possibility of a box on the gate.â
| "How many did we lose? ... Three? Only three?" |
