Scratch-happy cat is off probation -- and on Wikipedia
Born: Lewis.
Occupation: Pet (cat)
Yes, Lewis has become so famous since his 2006 headline-making court case, when he was accused of a mass hissy fit that included attacks on the local Avon lady, that he even has his own Wikipedia page.
Lewis and Ruth
The entry -- as long as the one for former Florida Lt. Governor Frank Brogan and far more detailed than the one for hot new American playwright Sarah Ruhl -- traces the once accused feline felon's rise from a Fairfield, Ct. house cat to his arrest following complaints he had gone after a half-dozen neighbors. Owner Ruth Cisero was charged with reckless endangerment.
But the fur really started flying when the Bridgeport Superior Court judge suggested the best solution was to euthanize Lewis. The cat's supporters soon had their own MySpace page and were selling "Save Lewis!" T-shirts.
Today an indoor cat living a mild-mannered life, Lewis was back in the news last week, when the judge dismissed charges against Cisero. The cat and owner apparently had complied with the court's ruling in June 2006, offered as a substitution for the death sentence: Fifty hours of community service for Cisero, house arrest for Lewis, and two years probation for both.

Oh, and hang on to that "Save Lewis!" shirt. Bet it will be worth a lot on eBay one day.
