And for a very good reason! A cat named Frankie makes sure he can't just pop the post through the letterbox as usual. As Andrew slides the mail in, Frankie loves to get involved, making his job anything but easy.
The letterbox defender
Frankie's owner filmed the hilarious scene from inside her home in the US. "Is anyone else's cat as fascinated by the postman as mine is?" she wrote on TikTok.
From her vantage point, Frankie lies in wait for the postman's arrival. She then positions herself right by the letterbox, ready to pounce and grab the envelopes as he slides them through. Sometimes, Frankie is so determined that she manages to stop the letters from coming in at all, pushing them right back out!
A patient postman
While the scene is certainly amusing, Frankie's family worried it might be frustrating for the postman who was just trying to do his job. So, her owner left him a little note of apology, asking for his favourite type of biscuit: "Hello dear postman! Sorry about our cat, Frankie! She's crazy, but so cute! What's your name and what's your favourite biscuit? We wanted to thank you for everything!"
Andrew replied that his favourite was white chocolate and macadamia nut. In other videos, he can be seen thanking Frankie for her very precious "help" each day!
