Description:

I just recently learned about the mail cats of Liege, Belgium. Can you imagine 37 cats with letters strapped to their necks in waterproof packaging being sent out to deliver them? Me neither! Here is a little more about them.

Ok, your mission is to create a postcard depicting a mail cat. It can be realistic, goofy, a drawing or collage...whatever it is that strikes your fancy.

Standard postcard size is 4 1/4x6 inches to mail for 35 cents in the USA. Larger, smaller or odd shaped costs more. Please check or add more if unsure. International is now 1.20 from the USA.

Postcards can be sent naked or in an envelope. Please check your partner's preferences. If none are listed it is senders choice.

I will check profiles. Please no recent 1s or 3s without explanations.

And, finally, a different kind of postal cat altogether!

I saw that on my postal FB page, LOL. Are you going to catch him and put a letter on him? I'll put a saucer of milk out...

Cats attack postal workers as well?! I never would have thought about that particular hazard, but the net is full of stories and videos.

Delivering mail is a dangerous occupation!
