Crazy Cat in Conn. Ambushes the Avon Lady

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (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.

He looks harmless enough, but he sounds like a four-footed terror!

9. Did you see his wild eyes toward the end of the clip?
The owner seems to be as nutty as the cat.

12. I'd agree. Lewis seems pretty normal
but his mamma seems a little askew. Maybe that's why he's acting crazy. :D

2. My mom just called to ask if I had seen this.
This cat looks a lot like my mom's cat that died several months ago.

4. I don't think so, but it looks a lot like Gene.
Gene was known to attack people for no obvious reason.

5. Here's a link to pics and video
Interestingly enough, Lewis looks like a cross between my two cats, Leo and Edgar, who are brothers (they're in my avatar). Thankfully Leo and Edgar don't attack people-- at least not vicously. They may sprawl all over them and bump into their shins, but not violently.
