A rabid cat ran screaming through a neighborhood in Orlando, Florida, biting and scratching 15 people and two dogs. The cat was tested by the Florida Department of Health and was positive for rabies.
"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."
The victims are receiving rabies shots, and authorities are asking that anyone who was scratched by a black and white cat see their doctors immediately.
Officials believe that because the cat was in the neighborhood for three days with apparent signs of rabies, it may have attacked others or pets.
A rabies alert has been posted for the area bordered by the East-West Expressway, Econlockhatchee Trail, Chickasaw Trail and Lake Underhill Road for 60 days.
