Royal Mail could ban deliveries to couple with ‘hazardous’ cat

A couple have been told to restrain their cat or risk the Royal Mail suspending deliveries to their house.

Matthew Sampson and Laura Lowe received a letter from Royal Mail warning of a “potential hazard affecting mail deliveries” at their home in Patchway, near Bristol.

The letter says the postal service has been “experiencing difficulties in delivering mail” to the address “becuase of the actions of a cat”.

It goes on to say the couple’s postman reported that when he posts their mail, their cat “snatches the mail and puts his fingers at risk of injury”.
