One rabid cat in a Florida neighborhood attacked five people and a puppy that now have to be treated for the deadly disease. Neighbors say one lady was feeding the cat and keeping it in the neighborhood. Here is Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

 

Of Note: The cat was found dead and the people and puppy are recovering.
