Three-year-old Snowball is only 10 inches tall but she has shocked her owner Mr. Ian Wilkinson after he received a letter from the Royal Mail in the UK informing him that his beloved kitty was a ‘health and safety risk’ after a postman’s finger was scratched while putting mail through the letterbox!
Snowball is described as ‘harmless and playful’ by her owner but the postman feels she poses an ‘unacceptably high level of risk’ and after suffering a cut to his finger it has been decided delivering mail to Mr. Wilkinson is just too dangerous. Deliveries have been suspended until Mr. Wilkinson finds a way to stop Snowball from attacking the postman.
Mr Wilkinson said: ‘It’s utterly ridiculous. Everyone at work thinks it is hilarious – they have started calling her Ninja Cat.’
He also stated… ‘Although I acknowledge that my cat is a very intelligent animal, she is not able to lift up a spring loaded flap, keep it open, push her paw through a double brush guard and maul an unsuspecting delivery person in the time it take to delivery of the letter.’
Mr Wilkinson has now put a cage around the letterbox and hopes this will be enough for Royal Mail to resume its service.
