Canada Post cowed by "very threatening cat" WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Canada's postal system has stopped delivering mail to a home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, after a mail carrier was scared away by a "very threatening cat," the Winnipeg Free Press said on Friday. A Canada Post spokeswoman said the agency was concerned about the safety of its carriers, although it hoped for an amicable solution to its dispute with cat-owner John Samborski.

"The letter carrier who delivers mail there ... was brought up on a farm, she is very comfortable with animals," spokewoman Kathi Neal told the newspaper. "Apparently this is a very threatening cat."

Samborski told the paper that his eight-year-old, declawed, black cat Shadow is docile, and it was "ridiculous" for Canada Post to make him to pick up his mail from a post office instead of delivering it to his door.

Shadow "likes to eat and sleep and cuddle. You could drop a bomb and he'd just open one eye, take a look, then close them and go back to sleep," Samborski, 41, told the newspaper.

Or maybe some back-pats for being creative in reasons for skyving.

(Canada Post is certainly known for an abundance of skyving)

Skyving:

1. To scrape or slice off the inside surface of a piece of leather to reduce it's thickness.

2. To intentionally avoid work or a regular obligation, usually by lying, conniving, or deception. To lay around being lazy or wandering aimlessly.

Sleeping or indulging in personal interests, pleasures, or vices while neglecting prior responsibilities.

3. To remove very thin slices from a piece of material.

"I felt like skyving off school today so I could watch the football game"

"She was robbed on the street by a skyving bum."
