Pet naming cat-astrophe
From Sky News
Royal Mail bosses are threatening to suspend deliveries to a woman's home - because of her aggressive cat. While dogs are traditionally the bane of a postman's life, Dipity the "little terror" has also sent fur flying.
The cat patrols owner Sarah Gregg's Huddersfield house like a guard dog and loves to pick fights. But mail bosses have now received a complaint from the local depot manager after Dipity leapt three feet and slashed a postie's hand as he popped a delivery through the letter box, drawing blood. They wrote to Sarah saying: "If any further incidents are allowed to take place I shall have to consider suspending deliveries until I am satisfied the danger is removed." And they advised her to fit a cage inside the front door.
Sarah, 24, said: "You hear about guard dogs injuring postmen all the time - but not cats. "I can't say I blame them for threatening to cut me off. I love Dipity to bits - she's adorable - but I'd be the first to admit she's a little terror. All she wants to do is pick fights. When I took her to be neutered she tried to gouge lumps out of the vet and was hissing at all the dogs."
A local postman told The Mirror: "People think only dogs are dangerous - but a swipe from a cat is just as painful."
There should be a law. If there was any justice the beast would stab up its owner until she changed its name to something less appalling.

Hardly a 'happy accident' for the postman, is it?

Oksana and have have a kitten (13 weeks old) and we've called him Charlie.
I read that cats respond to names that end in "ie" or "y". I was tempted to name him Mucky!!!
I've subsequently heard that they like names starting with "CH", so we seem to have done quite well.
I can't be calling our cat any strange names - you have to think of the 'calling out for your cat in public' factor

I always go "Ch ch ch ch ch ch ch" to cats and they seem to respond - my old (now dead) cat Miami used to come running from yards away...

Was it a well-behaved cat, or did it have some Miami Vices?
