Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night,… not really, that’s the American Postal Service. This is the British version and they will no longer put mail in the house through the door slot because – (Well, read -)

The Royal Mail will not post letters through the door for one family in Portsmouth because their cat, who scratched a postman’s finger, is now considered a threat.
A tortoiseshell cat called Lana is accused of scratching the mail carrier when he pushed letters through the opening.
Carl and Carol White say the feline was just acting playful but the Royal Mail has stated that it is important to prevent animal attacks.
The family has been told to keep the cat away from the door or risk losing their postal delivery, so Carl now goes to the door to collect the post when the carrier knocks.

American Postal Carriers are apparently tougher than their British counterparts. That’s nice to know. If there’s a war, we’ll get mail delivery and they won’t. All we have to do is drop Commando Kitties across Britain. I’ve got some I’ll donate right now. We can pre-bombard them, in case of a future war.

(By the way, the cat pictured above is innocent of any postman attacks. It seemed unfair to picture the alleged attacker, who after all is a juvenile.)
