Cliff Clavin Never Had To Put Up With This


UK postal workers boycott house after cat attacks

LONDON -Britain's postal service says it has suspended deliveries to a woman following repeated attacks by her 19-year-old cat.

Royal Mail said Friday that it had halted deliveries because postal workers had already sustained "nasty injuries" at the address in the town of Farsley, near Leeds in northern England.

The woman was identified as a 43-year-old pharmacy worker. Media reports say she found it hard to believe that her cat, named "Tiger," could be behind the attacks.

She told two newspapers the animal spent most of its day sleeping and didn't have the energy to chase postal workers.

I think the British Postal Service needs to suck it up on this one. It's a 19-year-old cat for heavens sake. I know from experience that about the only thing a 19-year-old cat wants to do is eat, sleep or look generally disinterested. So if the cat is attacking the mailman must be asking for it. Honestly, if the mailman can't outrun a 19-year-old cat he needs to take a long hard look at himself and take a demotion to the counter at the post office.
