Postmen refuse deliveries after being chased by elderly cat

Tiger, a 19 year-old black and white cat, has been accused of attacking postmen on three occassions delivering mail in Leeds, west Yorkshire.

Owner Tracy Brayshaw, of Farsley, Leeds, said the postmen have complained that Tiger attacks them as they approach the cat flap, before chasing them down the garden path.

Mrs Brayshaw now has to collect her mail from the local sorting office.

She said: "If Tiger climbs up a tree he is done in for the rest of the week. I find it really hard to believe.

"The post has been suspended for two weeks now. It was funny at first but it is going a bit far now."

Mrs Brayshaw is hoping to appeal against the decision to suspend her post. Read more on The Telegraph website.
