Cat terrorizes Blue State town

2006-03-30

At first, I thought this had been released to the wire services 3 days early, but it appears to be legit.
Residents of the neighborhood of Sunset Circle
which probably went for Kerry, what, 60-40?
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."
And when he reaches into his bag of tricks...
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.
I could understand an Amway person, but Avon?
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.
This should prove as effective as UN sanctions.
Solveira also arrested the cat's owner, Ruth Cisero, charging her with failing to comply with the restraining order and reckless endangerment.
Has anyone asked why does he hate us?

#12 Having been owned by many cats over the years I can tell you this is entirely normal cat behavior.

When a cat rubs against your leg, he's actually marking you with "His" scent, (Scent glands are above the eyes in front of the ears) making sure that you're marked as "His" private property.
We humans can't smell it, but other cats can.

Obviously Lewis is smelling other cats scents. That's as plain a "Fight" signal as the middle finger at a NASCAR versus Biker rally.

#10 There's no need to resort to violence.

They just need to do an exchange program.

Somewhere in Texas there's probably a toy poodle that'll be perfectly suited for Massachussets...

#7 Easy for you to say Do. But I understand that Lewis "will stare you down" and "you never know how he'll react".

Back away slowly, don't make eye contact and even think about a tree.

#5 Somehow I can't get the scene of the rabbit from The Holy Grail out of my mind on this one. They forgot the "big pointy teeth," lol! Great pic, BTW!

#4 Obviously we need a law banning the growing of claws and fangs!

Approprate graphic.

#3 The solution to the problem is simple and requires 3 things:
1. A canvas sack.
2. A bunch of rocks.
3. A bridge to throw it off of.
All they need to do is figure out which sissy has the stones go grab an 8 pound cat.
Hint: grab it by the throat.
