HILARIOUS video shows a cat that loves to wait by the front door for the postie to arrive, grabs the mail, and then stages it upstairs.
Linnet, six, is seen in the clip waiting for a small parcel to come through the letterbox.
She leaps at the package, knocking it to the floor, and then gently picks it up with her mouth before heading up the stairs to her hiding place.
Author Fox Benwell, from Cambridge, posted the clip online where it has been viewed more than 126,000 times.

Speaking today, Fox said: “One day I found a charity collection bag on the floor upstairs.
“It kept happening – flyers, letters, bags – I had no idea how they were getting there, and then one day she did it while I was working.
“She also goes for letters and smallish parcels, anything she can get her teeth into and lift, and she’ll often wait by the door for the postie.”
