Funny stories of delivery guys taking their customers’ pet cats and claiming those furry friends their own recently circulated online, and these delivery riders certainly learned their lesson already.
To prove, there’s this video of this Amazon delivery staff on Facebook caught on camera with the customer’s Ring doorbell, not stealing the customer’s pet cat, but actually striking up a conversation with it.
Conversation with a cat
The viral video was posted by Manchester Evening News on the social networking app, showing a delivery guy donning a turban who, while waiting for the door to open, began a talk with the cat by the doorstep.
“An Amazon delivery driver struck up a chat with a customer’s cat in a hilarious moment captured on their Ring doorbell. The courier was seen carrying a parcel towards Chelsea Fenton’s front door, where he rang the bell and knocked. As he waited for an answer, a cat meowed at him from inside the property,” the media outlet wrote.
The friendly courier is even funnier as he responded with his own human meow, and that’s when the customer opened the front door to receive the parcel. As to how the cat understood his “meow,” only the cat knew.
"I just think his reaction was brilliant,” the customer told Ridesharing Forum, different reaction from the customer who even pleaded for the cat to be returned in the other story of this site.
Netizens love what they saw, saying, “Amazing guy. He delivered the package carefully, looking happy and enjoying it with the cat too,” "I thought I was the only one who did that,” and “We need more like him making sure your parcel is delivered and not just thrown at your door.”

Amazon cancels drone deliveries in Italy
In other Amazon delivery news, Amazon has canceled its plans to launch drone deliveries in Italy, a move that only goes to show how the company has scaled up on its international drone delivery ambitions.
Amazon’s Prime Air unit reportedly will no longer pursue a commercial drone delivery service in Italy, which was previously announced in 2024. This came as a surprise for the country’s civil aviation regulator, which had started the work, and this time, they needed to pause.
Not that things have gone wrong with Amazon, but rather a spokesperson told Ridesharing Forum that the company is committed, for now, to the United Kingdom, the other international market it aimed to penetrate, as announced last year.
So far, Amazon’s drones are serving Waco and San Antonio in Texas, Pontiac in Michigan, and several other locations in the USA. Sooner or later, the company will announce new services.
“Despite positive engagement and progress with Italian aerospace regulators, the broader business regulatory framework in the country does not, at this time, support our longer-term objectives for this program,” Amazon stated. “Our drone delivery projects in [the USA and Great Britain] continue positively, with test flights and commercial deliveries proving successful and well-received by customers.”
