The animal-control department in Fairfield, Connecticut, has issued a restraining order on Lewis, the cat. The feline has been terrorizing his neighborhood, including attacking the Avon lady, who has filed a civil suit against the cat's owner, Ruth Cisero.

Lewis has allegedly attacked six people, leaving claw marks, scratches and punctures in his wake. "He comes at you from behind, wrapping himself around your legs, biting and scratching," said neighbour Janet Kettman.  Cisero says her neighbours abuse Lewis, and that's why he attacks them. "I've told them if they leave him alone, he'll leave them alone."
