Syracuse, NY – A Central New York postal worker, who captured his battle with a cat on video, won $100,000 on “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

Joe Cassidy, of Baldwinsville, works for the U.S. Postal Service in Syracuse. His showdown with the cat appeared on the show in January. The video, dubbed “Mail Slot Menace,” won the first place prize and Cassidy took home $10,000.

The video competed against nine other winning clips for the $100,000 prize. The show aired Sunday evening on ABC.

Cassidy said the cat has not been back on the porch since the video was made. He also said that the cat’s owner did not want his name released to the public.

“I love that cat,” Cassidy said. “Now I just see him in the window.”

The video will compete against the other $100,000 winner from earlier this season for a chance to win two Disney vacations, one to Disney World in Florida and one to Disney Land in California. Cassidy said the show will air next Sunday.
