Cat prevents mail delivery...

Appears the US is not alone in having people be afraid of the neighborhood kitty, as this story from Canada is about a black cat name Shadow who is declawed and 8 years old but obviously "scary" enough to:

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) -- 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," the Winnipeg Free Press said Friday.

A Canada Post spokeswoman 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," spokeswoman Kathi Neal told the newspaper. "Apparently this is a very threatening cat."

It reminds me of the rabbit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail....
