Halt that couriered feline!

Cat's special delivery. From: G Atkinson, Thirsk Road, Northallerton.

THE story of Percy the railway cat (Yorkshire Post, October 19) reminded me of an experience a friend of mine had.She was in charge of all the parcels that came to her station. In one was a cat in its basket. Unfortunately, it must not have been happy being cooped up and it managed to escape.My friend was horrified when she saw it running along the platform. She shouted to those around: "Stop that cat – it's a parcel." It got away and, not knowing quite what to do, she got hold of the station cat and secured it and sent it off to its destination. No-one ever made any complaints, much to her relief.

Perception?
