FAIRFIELD, Conn. - 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.

dude, that is like the cat here. He sprints at you and jumps on your legs and won't let go, biting constantly - i'm scared to go out of my room with no jeans on because his hook like claws have gotten under my skin so that i could lift my hand up and he would just hang there- claws in skin keeping him attached to me. I'm not sure what our cat would do if he escaped
We have a mean neighborhood cat too. It once did a kamikaze attack on my dog when she was walking by the cat. The cat jumped up onto my dog's shoulders, made an angry cat noise, and then ran away.

I came, I saw, I did a little shopping.
Iwas suppose to report to a store next Monday in that town (Fairfield,CT).But I get to stay in Westport, good thing the cat would have had me for breakfast!
i thought that was a funny story. I had a cat that would do crazy things like attack my brother when he would walk down the hall. He would do the grab onto the calf and bite then run away. I thought it was so funny at the time but looking back my poor brother!
