This weekend has been an utter whirlwind! I’ve spent most of it (so far… it’s a 3-day weekend here in the UK as well) either out, organising, and answering about 50x the normal amount of email, or on the phone. I wrote 500 words on Wildings today, and I was thrilled to have gotten that much done! Frankly, it’s been an exhausting three days. Wonderful, but man, I’m worn out.
But since I missed you, my dear bloggy friends, I had to stop by to say hello today, even if that’s all it is.
So I leave you with a little funny I found today: Postman in Leeds are boycotting a particular house because of “Tiger”, the nasty housecat.
The 19-year-old black and white cat, named Tiger, has ripped into three postmen over the past few weeks, according to Royal Mail.
And the posties say the cat is never caught napping when it comes to springing a trap.
He bides his time as the postie approaches and pounces as the delivery men walk up the garden path.
Royal Mail workers say they can take no more – but Tiger’s owner Tracy Brayshaw, 43, has laughed off the idea of her cat attacking anyone as “ridiculous”.
She is cross that she has to go down to the local post office to collect her mail and denies Tiger is a risk to health and safety.
That’s just funny. What a bunch of pansies.

A cat? Well, you never know…:)

Do they have scratch marks to back up their claims of attacks? Or is Tiger just scaring the bejeebies out of them when she pounces?
If I’m getting clawed, I might stop delivering too. Whatever happened to neither rain nor snow nor crazy cats shall stop….

I was terrified of a neighbour’s cat when I was five or so… then again it was a lot closer to my size than this one must be to the postmen
Awwww poor Tiger – much maligned I’m sure!! Then again kitty scratches and attacks are quite something and could be very painful! Oh dear. A round of catnip is in order methinks.
And well done you with writing 500 words for Wildings!! Yay!!! Onwards and upwards!
Take care

Somehow, being attacked by a cat might be embarrassing–the old “girls like cats” & “boys like dogs” thing–might be like getting your ass kicked by a girl.
Wonder why they don’t use an ultrasonic whistle or strong squirt of water to deter it. http://amzn.to/aaz0mP

Wonder why he got the name Tiger in the first place… Who’d think being a postman was such a risky business!!
That cat does have mean eyes! Congrats on writing 500 words despite your business
The Royal Mail will use excuse, won’t they?

That is too funny. Poor postmen. Go!Kitty!
I sure hope you’re enjoying your long weekend – and great job on the word count.
I don’t know, I’ve seen some mean cats in my life
The Royal Mail will snatch at any excuse, really. Haha, love that story.
