Cat Evicted from Post Office for Not Paying Taxes

Posted by Miss Cellania in Animal on January 13, 2009 at 1:43 pm


A cat named Sammy was usually seen lounging in the window of the post office in Notasulga, Alabama until someone complained.

“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.

From the pose he strikes in this photo, Sammy doesn’t seem too happy about the eviction. But Sammy’s supporters think they have found a way around the banishment. They have rented a post office box in his name! Link -via Arbroath

    What an idiot. By their logic, children shouldn't be allowed in the post office either. Hmm...

    Weirdest thing ever. I'm not an american taxpayer, so if I ever happen to go to U.S. will I be allowed to enter a post office in Alabama?

    Elisabetta - no, you and Sammy must watch us tax-paying Americans enter and wait several hours to mail a letter at the post-office. ;P

    Did this make anyone think about Steve Martin's cat stealing his money?
    Funny story though!, And clever Postal workers!

    What kind of an idiot lacking anything to do must one be to complain about a non tax paying cat in the post office?

    Damn, someone must have a miserable, boring life to want to piss off other people that much by complaining about a cat in a post office.

    How friggin mean must that person be to kick a kitty out. Whomever that person is I trust they will remember this when they are old and need someone to love and care for them, becasue if they treat an innocent cat this way what must they be like to their own. How terribly sad.

    Yay to Sammy's supporters by getting him a p.o. box!

    Some people are just happy being misearble, and are not happy unless they ,make others miserable.

    Ya know, he probably keeps the mice scared away. So he should be classified as a federal employee!

    I cannot imagine what would possess a person to complain about the cat for that reason. (I can see someone getting uppitty if they don't like cats or have allergies, etc, but not paying taxes?!) It's staggers the mind.

    What about all the cockroaches and silverfish? Do they get little P.O. boxes too...?

    Didn't finish before posting: Or do the cat have to share with them...?

    I feel sorry for the person who complained. They must be a very unhappy person if they take offense at a harmless animal who brightened so many people's days.

    the USPS hasn't been supported by taxes in decades & by that logic no one from another country should ever enter the post office either

    The cat probably leaves nasty stray cat prints all over the work area and desktops at night, as cats do.

    We've been trying to get a bring your pet to work day for years at my post office! What we want to know is if there are any positions available!
    Stay warm Sammy!
