Postmen have stopped delivering to a house in Cranbrook, Kent, because of a dangerous cat.
They say their hands are being ripped to shreds by ginger tom Bat as they shove post through the cat flap.
The posties also claim the six-year-old moggie claws their legs with vicious swipes, The Sun reports.
The Royal Mail has now told Bat's owner Dan Coyne that it will suspend letter deliveries to his house until he takes action about his pet.
Dan said: "I can't believe they are scared of him."
But he admitted: "Bat is a bit of a psycho and has been known to launch himself at people.
"He gets very wound up by the postman and sits under the cat flap waiting for him.
"As the postie pushes the letters through, I've seen Bat try to swipe him with his claws.
"He was a rescue cat and is only little - but he does get stroppy."

The cat sense the posties fear, and acts upon it.

what's a "moggy?" I know what a "woggie" is...I can only guess that "moggie" is Cockney slang for 'cat'.

So the owner of the cat sees that the cat is waiting for the postman and sometimes swipes at the postman with his claws, and just allows it to continue?
What a jerk. Why is it so hard for people nowadays to just "be nice"?

Here kitty, kitty. Now...fetch the M-80. A 400fps .177 cal projectile gets them moving real good.
