"The cat came up from behind us and was screaming," cat attack victim Adam
Maul said. "I mean I've never heard a cat scream so loud. The cat ran out
from underneath the car and bit me in my ankle."

Not to make light of this, but that's Bandit's "normal" behavior -
seriously!

Poor thing. I feel bad for the people who were bitten, but also for
the cat, who must have been really suffering.

LOL! Yeah, right - tell that to Roman and Toby (Toby was the one who was
standing on the back rest of my sofa, hugging the wall, and screaming "Get
her away from me, get her away from me!" ;

Didn't she purr when I pet her?

It's also normal scared cat behavior. I need to read to read the
article but I will bet this cat isn't rabid.

That's what I thought, but I read one article that says the cat was tested
(which means a necropsy) and the report came back positive for rabies.
Fifteen people have begun receiving rabies shots, and an alert has posted
for anyone else who may have come into contact with the cat. There are also
concerns for outdoor pets in the area (and wildlife, I presume).

I know - I am blown away. That's gotta be the first rabit cat in 100
years or something. Last time I looked it up, it was virtually
nonexistent in cats. Now I am wondering if a cat we had at the vet one
time could have been rabid. He was acting very similarly and we
couldn't find a reason for it - the vet basically said he must have a
brain problem we can't diagnose, and they euthanized him. I am sure
they didn't check him for rabies. That kind of thing scares the
bejeebus out of me.
