Britain's postal service says it has
suspended deliveries to a woman
following repeated attacks by her
19-year-old cat.

Royal Mail said Friday that it had
halted deliveries because postal workers
had already sustained "nasty injuries"
at the address in the town of Farsley,
near Leeds in northern England.

The woman was identified as a
43-year-old pharmacy worker. Media
reports say she found it hard to believe
that her cat, named "Tiger," could be
behind the attacks.

She told two newspapers the animal spent
most of its day sleeping and didn't have
the energy to chase postal workers.

The pharmacy worker of course could keep Tiger inside during the day
like she should do anyhow. How our cats act outside without us around
might surprise us.

That's true, but it's also true that there could be a completely
different cat using her front door step when the postal worker arrives.
People who don't know cats well tend to confuse them when they're of a
similar coloured fur.

If the cat is really 19, it seems unlikely it would have enough energy
to attack someone - unless it was in self-defence, and postal workers
don't usually spend a lot of time at any one door, much less attack animals.

Oh, PLEASE don't start another indoor vs outdoor controversy!!!! There
are equally good reasons for keeping cats confined and for allowing them
freedom to come and go as they please. A lot of those reasons depend
upon where you live, the temperament of the cats involved, and the
territory surrounding your home. I don't think any of us here is
qualified to judge what's best for other people's cats, because we can't
know the individual circumstances.
