A woman has put a mailbox at the end of her drive after postmen complained of being repeatedly attacked by her cat. Sarah Goddard, from Derby, said her moggy Georgi had left a postman bleeding after scratching his hands as he put letters through the door.

Shouldn't really laugh, but in the UK, they have their letter boxes in their front doors, so this cat used to have "live prey" 5 days a week!

We actually have a "Beware of Attack cat" poster, but have never had to use it ... old JackCat rip, was the closest we had. A reformed feral, he was fine until you started palying rough and then watch out!

Maybe the cat knows the mailman from a prevous life.

.My old tom used to jump on people when they came into the house if I wasn't with them.
Luckily he just wanted some lovin's lol.
This one time he landed right on my friends head as he came up the stairs, and gave him a love bite! lol

This makes sense. The cat was attacking a movement that came thru his door into his home. Fair game. Sounds like the post box outside is the best idea, but I bet the cat misses his daily play with the intruder.

lol you stick something in front of a cat, they tend to think you are playing.
