This is really cute. I hope he doesn’t get into trouble.

there’s one who does that in the park near me.

I think they all do. Where I used to live, I saw the postman sitting in his truck at about 2:30 in the afternoon for about an hour.

I think their routes are so short that they have to kill about an hour and a half before they head back to their stations....

Meanwhile they’ve so cut back at my local post office that a trip there is like going to the DMV.

Glad you (and your cat) liked it.

English is a second language at my PO, adding further to the delays.

Whereas the walls used to be covered in seasonal/promotional ‘buy stamps’ posters, they are now covered in ‘use the PO to wire money (read: dole cash) back to your third world hellhole’ posters. In Spanish, of course.

Yes for about five minutes. Then the dreaded nap attack happened.

I sent the link to my mother, my godmother, and my bff, all cat lovers. I hope it makes them smile too.

When I worked in London, I saw flats that had cat flaps. My co- workers could not get over the idea of an indoor cat. It was an alien concept to the people I met there.

They are, barring any genetic defects. The genes necessary to the proper color combination for a calico (or a tortoiseshell, for that matter) reside on the X chromosome.

A moggie. Basically, it’s British for “alley cat.”

“I think she likes, her purr is about a 5.5 on the Seismic Purr scale.”

Hehehe....

I describe my cats’ respective purrs in terms of what car engine they sound like. Apple, our orange tabby, sounds like a Harley-Davidson. Patch, our tortie, sounds like a BMW straight-6, while Monkey, a tortoiseshell tabby (and one of Patch’s kittens), sounds like a small-block Ford.

Monkey’s littermates all went to new homes. Morrison, an orange tabby, sounded like a Chevy big-block. Jimi, a black kitty, sounded like a 2-liter Alfa. Janis, a lynx-point, sounded like a Mazda rotary.

I like Napkin, who looks a lot like Two Tone, an orange and white tomcat that belonged to my neighbor but considered my place to be his home.

Amazing how things can go viral. Some of those cats are amazing, too.

this one has to be my all-time favourite!

Postman pet: Courier cycles up to 25 miles with his CAT on his shoulder while making deliveries

Nice story and thanks for the link!

Kitty rides without a harness? No sudden stops, I hope.

It’s a little worrying...I sure hope he never falls off that bike. But the cat sure looks happy, doesn’t it?

Kitty MJ does look happy and well cared-for.

I believe she does good PR for this guy’s courier business, too. :)

(Nice moustache wax job there.)
