Petrified postmen ordered to stay away from Snowball the cat

Frightened postal workers have been banned from delivering letters to one notoriously hazardous address after being repeatedly 'attacked' by a three-year-old cat called Snowball.

Following a thorough investigation the Royal Mail has stopped its workers from delivering mail to the address after labelling the black and white moggy a 'health and safety risk'.

[Slings and Arrows]

Good idea! A kitty treat with the mail will go a long way towards making friends.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Your cat must have been out partying with the boys all night! LOL!

[hatfieldmccoy]

Wow—what the Hell is this? The Bamster”s wife? Holy Crap-— reference please...

[andyk]

I think that would be the highlight of my route.

[kaehurowing]

Isn’t this what tazers are for?

[Slings and Arrows]

Agreed. What a bunch of weenies.

[TheOldLady]

Oh, for Heaven's sake! The kitteh just wants to play, and how a big, bad mailman can't deal with it is beyond me. God save England if
they're afraid of small house pets.

Miss Hissy Slashy loves to bat at stuff under doors. She sits in front of the pantry door every morning until I have time to let her into it.
She rushes inside, and I close the door and wiggle toys in the gap under it. She starts batting and purring up a storm. She just loves it.

And I love her.

[Slings and Arrows]

Every so often a piece of furniture in my house will grow a set of kitty legs as I walk by. Somehow I survive.

[CatherineofAragon]

Totally agree with you. No one who’s owned a cat gets the vapors about a few scratches and bites. It’s all in the cat way of going about things. What wimps.

[TheOldLady]

And unpetrified, too.

[TheOldLady]

Indeed - on all counts.

[Slings and Arrows]

Notably unpetrified.

[Fawn]

REAL NICE. Would you guys do that to a bully kid? Pull his leg hard and slap the crap out of him? I can’t stand Bullies—anyone that can hurt an animal is a lowlife bully......immaturity is rampant.

[Jack Hydrazine]

When Snowball brings out the claws out for the attack the best thing to do is attack back and give that little Niedermeyer a taste of his own medicine! You’d be surprised the damage a domesticated cat can do. And if it’s a bobcat or a cougar? Even more!

If a bully attacked me? I’d certainly fight back and take the doofus down.

What happened when Trayvon attacked Mr. Zimmerman? Zimmerman fought back and won!

Ummm. I have two catz. They don't use their claws. Ever. They learned that not from sweet reason, but from corporeal correction. Use a claw, get a slap. Not liking getting slapped, they stopped using their claws on me.

It's called training. I love them and they love me. It's based on mutual respect reinforced with firm boundries.

NO...that’s cruelty. You don’t need to HIT anything you big bully..... All you have to do is yell...and not even that loud. Never play with your cats using your bare hands either...always have a toy in your hand. I’m willing to bet your cats avoid you whenever possible.

[JRandomFreeper]

My catz are up my nose every time I sit down. They visit me when I'm in the bath. They sleep with and on me.

I'll handle my catz as I see fit. They are well cared for, and well behaved.
