I saw this story on NBC news last night.  I would think that if Lewis
were kept inside there wouldn't be any more problems.  De-clawing was
mentioned but that would not stop Lewis from biting.

That's one EVIL looking cat. :)

Personally, I think that the neighbors should be on medication.
Not the cat.

I remember this group talking about this before.  the owner is the one that
needs to be in trouble.  the cat has issues and needs to be seen by an
animal behaviorist to have a course of action determined  but the woman
keeps letting the cat out and it does attack people

Yep, in one of the news articles I read about this a few weeks ago she said
she "felt bad" about "keeping Lewis confined to the house".  She's one of
those, "my kitty needs to be fweeeeeee" nuts whose neighbors are paying for
her idiocy.

And she's SMILING in the picture. This stupid bitch should be tried for
endangering her cat AND others. Idiot.

If an attack is provoked, that's one thing.  But if not, once an animal
crosses that line, I say it's time to put that animal down.

Not always  an animal behaviorist is definitely needed here.  there can be
other reasons for an attack other than provoking such as has fear.  But this
woman is allowing a problem animal out into the public allowing such attacks
to occur.  The animal should be diagnosed it could have a medical problem
causing this  but the woman should be arrested for public endangerment and
possible other felony charges

*All* she had to do was keep the gd cat in the house where he belongs.
It is clear that he does not attack her. She is the one who needs to be
prosecuted for endangering her cat and others.

Are the neighbors insane? Lewis sounds like he's a young cat, he'll grow
out of it.

I say make his human find out how to keep his claws trimmed and keep the
cat indoors.

Two comments:

I had an attack cat (he's calmed considerably). I have scars, but
fortunately no major infections. It's not something to be taken lightly.

That said, KEEP THE CAT INSIDE. D'uh.

Any vicious animal that is too near a human habitation should be either
removed to a safer place or euthanized immediately.
These people here... the victims.. they handled this situation in
entirely the wrong fashion. They had to have known that the owner was a
kook-job before they sought out help from the authorities. Never call
the cops. That's my motto.
