SWNS_POSTMAN_CAT_23

Bella, a cat from Bristol who been attacking postmen as they deliver letters through the door of her owners Laura Lowe and Matthew Sampson. Scaredy-cat postmen are refusing to deliver to a home because they are being attacked by this angry feline – that looks just like Postman Pat’s pet JESS. See swns story SWCAT. Sweet-looking Bella jumps up and grabs the post from the letterbox whenever the postie calls – scratching his fingers. The Royal Mail say it puts mail workers ”at risk of injury” and after a health and safety assessment no more deliveries can be made to the home in Patchway, Bristol. Officials dubbed four-year-old Bella a ”hazard” and because of the ”level of threat” the postie won’t be going back unless it is ”restrained”. The ban is even more ironic given black and white Bella is the spitting image of Post Pat’s docile pet cat Jess. Owners Matthew Sampson and Laura Lowe say their pet has never attacked anyone before – but has taken against the postie.
