Lewis The Cat On Death Row!

I was watching TV yesterday, when I heard some horrific cat news:
they want to condemn my fellow feline Lewis to death!
Yes, really, I am not joking (although I have a superb sense of humor, mind you!).

Lewis the Cat bears a resemblance to the famous Felix the Cat (and my not yet so famous pal Bundy; ergo: he is gorgeous) and has six toes with an impressive nail on each foot. As you know, this is not uncommon in cats, although I have the standard number of toes.
Lewis lives in a quiet Fairfield, Connecticut, neighborhood with his human Ruth Cisero.

He was minding his own business when this Avon Lady Human started to mess with him.
When this Avon Person was getting out of her car, Lewis approached her from behind, making it clear that she had no business in his ‘hood.
She ended up going to the hospital and filed a lawsuit in some Superior Court against his Provider.
Tell me, can you blame him? Those door-to-door salespersons are a pest (as are telemarketers who wake me up at ungodly hours).

The neighbors didn’t like poor Lewis as well – they called him the “Terrorist of Sunset Circle,” which is a whole bunch of dog pooh.
As a result, poor Lewis got a restraining order (courtesy of Animal Control Officer Rachel Solveira).
Originally, this restraining order allowed him limited freedom if his Provider gave him Prozac. Stupid idea – show me any cat that likes (un)controlled substances except catnip!
Lewis refused to become a druggie or to be confided to his home.
He went out and had another altercation with a neighbor.

That Solveira Person promptly placed Lewis under house arrest, which means that he is forbidden to leave his home.
She also arrested his Provider for failing to comply with the restraining order and then for reckless endangerment. Pfffff.

And that’s not the end of it – they are dragging poor Lewis into court claiming that he is dangerous and should be put to death.
Lewis is not stupid, so he hired defense lawyer Eugene Riccio. Good thinking!

In the mean time, we have to do what we can to save our poor Feline Brother.
Support already came from an unlikely corner - Petey the dog is a staunch defender of Lewis. He even showed up at the Bridgeport's Golden Hill Street Court to pledge his support.
You see, Petey, living with four cats, gets scratched sometimes.
He understands that it’s the nature of the feline, so he never pressed charges against them.
A wise attitude - those pesty Humans (who acquitted O.J., mind you!) should do the same!

Judge Patrick Carroll will rule on June 20. I will keep you posted of course.
