Winnipeg - Canada's postal system has stopped delivering mail to a home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, after a mail carrier was scared away by a "very threatening cat", said the Winnipeg Free Press on Friday.
A Canada Post spokesperson said the agency was concerned about the safety of its carriers, although it hoped for an amicable solution to its dispute with cat-owner John Samborski.
"The letter carrier who delivers mail there was brought up on a farm, she is very comfortable with animals," said spokesperson Kathi Neal.
"Apparently this is a very threatening cat."
Samborski said Shadow, his eight-year-old, declawed black cat is docile, and it was "ridiculous" for Canada Post to make him to pick up his mail from a post office instead of delivering it to his door.
Shadow "likes to eat and sleep and cuddle. You could drop a bomb and he'd just open one eye, take a look, then close them and go back to sleep," said Samborski, 41.
What a wuss!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
Old J SAMBORSKI never told the Winnipeg free press that docile little ball of fluff was a Mountain lion... Or Panther AS Shadow is black..
HAHAHAHAHA i think i would shite my cacks if a cat that size n with a appetite for MEAT, (LIVE) came at me!!

I COULD THINK OF BETTER THINGS TO BE ATTACKED BY ON DELIVERY??? Like old Meat n 2 veg onhis round and that housewife with a gobble..
I got clawed by one once when I first started. Put my hand in letter box but mail hit something and bent up like it does. Me being a newbie and really keen took the mail out and put my whole hand through and the cat got my finger. Bled for ages, and as I didn't know anything did not report it or try for a bit of sick through shock.
