Read this on the web today. Sure hope the judge is one of us, but if not, I know a bunch of folks who "know how to handle cats with behavior problems" and I don't think there would be any shortage of volunteers.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.(AP) An animal sanctuary is offering a safe haven to Lewis the cat, a Fairfield feline whose vicious attacks on neighbors have landed his owner in court.

Neighbors say they have been terrorized by Lewis, claiming the gray and white cat has used his long claws and stealth to attack at least a half dozen people and ambush an Avon saleswoman.

The Best Friends Animal Society of Kanab, Utah, which claims to be the country's largest no-kill animal sanctuary, offered to take Lewis free of charge.

"He would be cared for by specialists who know how to handle cats with behavior problems," Russ Mead, Best Friends' general counsel, wrote to Superior Court Judge Patrick Carroll.

The judge is expected to decide Lewis' fate on Tuesday, when the cat's owner, Ruth Cisero, returns to court. Cisero, who was charge with second-degree reckless endangerment, earlier refused another judge's offer of special probation because it carried the condition that Lewis be put to death.

Cisero's attorney, Eugene Riccio, has described Lewis as "a member of her family."

I too am a specialist who knows how to handle cats with behavior problems. I go along with preemption theory as a rule. If I had only known sooner I would have filed an amicus curiae brief with the court to offer that advice to the judge.

Why is it so difficult for these people?
