Cat banned from Post Office

Cat banned from Post Office



Doesn't this sound familiar? One person complains and the cat gets killed, or in this case, kicked out.

NOTASULGA, AL: Residents of the tiny Alabama town of Notasulga are rallying around a local fixture after his eviction from the post office.

"Sammy" the cat was banned from the building after someone wrote in to complain about the cat's presence.

"They said 'This is a federal building and he doesn't pay federal taxes so he can't come in'," said postal worker Rochelle Langford.

Before his banishment Sammy spent most of his time lounging in the post office's window.

Sammy's supporters think they've found a way to move him safely back in.

They've rented a P.O. Box in his name.

Post office workers say they'll allow Sammy back in, but will try to keep him out of the way of customers.
