A woman has put a mailbox at the end of her drive after postmen complained of being repeatedly attacked by her cat. Susan Goddard, from Derby, said her moggy Georgi had left a postman bleeding after scratching his hands as he put letters through the door. She explained: "I think she only wants the letters but obviously she must just accidentally catch his fingers." A spokesman for Royal Mail approved the move to use a post box away from the front door. He said most attacks were carried out by dogs but it was not uncommon for animals such as cats to attack staff. 'Very responsible' A statement from the company said: "We record about 5,000 animal attacks a year, the vast majority being dogs but its not uncommon for our postmen and women to be attacked by cats, birds and any other animal protecting its territory. "Most pet owners are very responsible and in this case Ms Goddard has taken action to allow the postman to make deliveries without the risk of further injury." Ms Goddard has apologised to delivery staff but said the cat was not a vicious animal. She said: "Wherever she is in the house she can hear him [the postman] coming and she runs down."
I thought going for the postman was the role of the hound Snoopy, you are slipping old boy QuoteA woman has put a mailbox at the end of her drive after postmen complained of being repeatedly attacked by her cat.

Why?
Just been to the postoffice! An elderly stabbed at me with umbrella!
I was doing a rural round on a very foggy morning and leant on a field gate to take a breather and sort through the next bundle. This horse snuck up behind me and took a lump out of the shoulder of my overcoat.
