Crazy Cat in Conn. Ambushes the Avon Lady

Crazy Cat in Conn. Ambushes the Avon Lady

FAIRFIELD, Conn., Mar. 28, 2006
(AP) Residents of the neighborhood of Sunset Circle say they have been
terrorized by a crazy cat named Lewis. Lewis for his part has been
uniquely cited, personally issued a restraining order by the town's
animal control officer.

"He looks like Felix the Cat and has six toes on each foot, each with a
long claw," Janet Kettman, a neighbor said Monday. "They are formidable
weapons."

The neighbors said those weapons, along with catlike stealth, have
allowed Lewis to attack at least a half dozen people and ambush the
Avon lady as she was getting out of her car.

Some of those who were bitten and scratched ended up seeking treatment
at area hospitals.

Animal Control Officer Rachel Solveira placed a restraining order on
him. It was the first time such an action was taken against a cat in
Fairfield.

In effect, Lewis is under house arrest, forbidden to leave his home.

Solveira also arrested the cat's owner, Ruth Cisero, charging her with
failing to comply with the restraining order and reckless endangerment.

It seems like the writer of this article had a little fun with the
story.

I wonder, though, if there's something wrong with Lewis that's making
him behave so aggressively? I hope he doesn't have rabies.

It also didn't say where the attacks occur. Does he attack them as
they're walking by an area that he considers his territory? (Which
might not necessarily coincide with his human's notion of their
property.) Or does he go walking around the neighborhood, looking
for people to terrorize?

Strange.

Well, it sounds funny, but a determined cat can really
inflict damage - it's just that cats usually avoid strange
humans, unless they are protecting a litter or something.

Lewis is in Fairfield Ct. My local, Boston area, news just showed a the
story. He's now at a shelter (looks like a nice one) the shelter person
said he settled down after a day. He looked very energetic, but also
attractive.
