Postmen complain of cat attacks (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

A woman has put a mailbox at the end of her drive after postmen complained of being repeatedly attacked by her cat.

Sarah Goddard, from Derby, said her moggy Georgi had left a postman bleeding after scratching his hands as he put letters through the door.

She explained: "I think she only wants the letters but obviously she must just accidentally catch his fingers."

A spokesman for Royal Mail approved the move to use a post box away from the front door.

He said most attacks were carried out by dogs but it was not uncommon for animals such as cats to attack staff.

2. This is only the beginning. I think cats are getting fed up with us.

3. Why would they be fed up with us?

The gourmet cat food isn't up to their standards? We're not opening doors quickly enough? Not making enough warm laps?

4. They prosecuted a women in CT a couple of years ago.

She was required to keep the cat inside, or face losing it.

The cat had been attacking the mailperson.
