Cats + Royal mail vans = ???

Post by banner18 »

What is it about the larger royal mail vans that cats love so much?
Everytime I pull up to deliver a parcel there is one approaching my van, going under it and sniffing about. They run off when you start the engine but sometimes they take their time moving off. Sometimes you don't see them move away and think you might squash them.

Whatever you do, don't put them in a wheelie-bin afterwards. :cool

The vans have new smells and possibly have been sprayed by another cat so there's always something interesting to sniff!
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Are you speaking from personal experience?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Of a cat sniffing the van, yes. Of me sniffing vans... I can neither confirm or deny those allegations.
