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. ___ Information from: Connecticut Post, http://www.connpost.com |

This is a local story, here. So I've seen some news footage of this "evil killer cat". Lewis is a big guy and a very handsome kitty. He did not look particularly big to me. Why do you say that? To me a big cat would be 15 to 20 pounds of muscle. I think the owner said he was 10 pounds which is on the small side for a male or at least routine or normal. My cat is 11 pounds with 1 pound of fat or so and I would not call her big, medium, not small, not big. Actually my cat looks like Lewis and well, handsome is not a word I would use. Ordinary healthy street cat yes, but handsome? Lewis is a hunter, and quite good at it. The neighbors have been complaining about his skill at sending birds, mice, and rats to the RB. Lewis has been attacked several times by these neighbors and has come home sprayed with glue, and covered with oil. People throw things at him, and spray him with garden hoses. Even after it was ordered that Lewis be kept indoors, several people called animal control and demanded that he be PTS. Do you remember where you got the above info? I am curious because I did not read any of that. I read that his owner said he had been sprayed with water and once pelted with eggs. If he attacks other cats and dogs, then they might be spraying him to separate the combatants. Or to keep the cat from attacking someone working in the garden. Hard to say which came first. About the PTS, I read the opposite. There have not been any requests to have him killed. I gather this is because it is a cul-de-sac and everyone knows each other. I think they will be inclined to sue and killing the poor beastie defeats that purpose. Maybe defeats it since that kind of deflates the issue for future jurors? Don't know about that legal stuff. In any case, I am curious why the big discrepancy between what I read and what you post. You are not sharpening your troll claws and making this up just for your own fun and amusement? This is serious business, usenet news groups, so behave or Lewis the attack cat will get you. In any case, I want to read more about Lewis so if you remember the URLs and this confounding stuff, post it here and I'll retract my claws. |

Why do you say that? Because that's what the owner said. If you're going to quote me, please keep it in context and don't paste 2 sentences together from different paragraphs without indicating that you've done so. The owner also said that the cat was 10 pounds and looked as big as a 10 pound cat which is small-medium in the video. Compared to her other cats, he appeared slightly larger but nowhere like a "big" cat. Actually my cat looks like Lewis and well, handsome is not a word I would use. Ordinary healthy street cat yes, but handsome? I guess that's kind of subjective. isn't it? Of course. My cat looks like Lewis but she is cute, not handsome, with her pink tinged ears. Do you remember where you got the above info? Uh, yea. Do you remember reading "So I've seen some news footage of this "evil killer cat"? It was a local TV news story. It's getting a bit of coverage here, since it's a LOCAL story. And, no, I didn't save the video, I didn't convert it to an mpeg, and I can't post it here. About the PTS, I read the opposite. Then if it's in print, you should have no trouble producing the story. There have not been any requests to have him killed. Oh, I didn't know you worked for the Fairfield Animal Control. I guess you'd know then. In any case, I am curious why the big discrepancy between what I read and what you post. I dunno. Did you go to public school? Yes I did, for my early schooling, and then to a private university which has 20% public monies but is still considered private. I gather you went to private school for your early training then? Was it a religious private school or a non-religious private school? You are not sharpening your troll claws and making this up just for your own fun and amusement? Didn't we just go through this s**t a couple of weeks ago in r.p.c.h+b? If I remember correctly, the story that I posted there was verified as being true. I posted a link....and you found independent confirmation. But for some reason, I can't remember you posting an apology. I'll have to see. I guess I did not apologize, if I did not apologize, because I immediately posted the URL after that, confirming your story. As you recall, my URL had an actual picture of the man shot to death by the pregnant woman after he kicked in her door and had a gun. If you wanted an apology, best to ask for it then but maybe you were waiting for the next time. I thought my apology could be assumed by posting the link. But that's stretching the apologizing a bit. Do I really have to apologize? I was just asking for confirmation at that time, not calling you any names. So I apologize for asking for the URL. Whew. The story sounded far-fetched so I need to confirm. I usually do that with these types of stories which deal with violence. Sort of like Roshomon's Gate. In any case, I want to read more about Lewis so if you remember the URLs and this confounding stuff, post it here and I'll retract my claws. I doubt it. I get the feeling that you NEED to prove me wrong about something....anything, since you came up with egg on your face the first time. I don't have high speed internet, so I didn't check the video for content, but there's a story at http://fox61.trb.com/news/wtic-news-...ll=wtic-home-1 I don't think it's the story I saw, but you might pick up up some additional info from it. Click: Fairfield Attack Cat Okay, the woman involved talks about glue, so you are correct and accurately reporting the news and not a troll. Unfortunately there are other nomens around so I get confused. If I cast any aspersions upon you, I APOLOGIZE! And yes, the woman who has the attack cat talked about others asking Lewis to be killed and other things not mentioned in the printed media. I gather the cat has a sense of vengeance but the people he attacked, were they like the people who squirted him? And he never attacked before being attacked? I gather he might go after birds in the bird feeders or other cats and that is why they attacked him. The glue sounds bad although his fur looked okay. I guess he is of the persuasion that the best defense is an offense. Poor guy won't get his day in court. He is sentenced to house arrest permanently without a chance to testify that he was only acting in self-defense, in a general kind of way. Not gentle but general. Poor fellow. The wounds on the neighbors looked bad but mainly bad from infection and swelling not bad like a dog would do. |

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. Suz&Spicey |
