[quote:Anonymous Coward 22899006:MV8xOTAwMzI4XzMzMTg2NTc2XzlGQUVCQTc4] "Health officials in central Oregon arent blaming the cat for what happened." Really, I thought it was the cats fault at first..but really, why was he trying to pry a mouse out of a cats mouth, cats eat mice and sounds like a good way to get bit. [/quote]

The Black Death, a strain of bubonic plague that destroyed nearly a third of Europe's entire population between 1347 and 1369, has been found in Oregon. Health officials in Portland have confirmed that a man contracted the plague after getting bitten by a cat. The unidentified man, who is currently in his 50s, had tried to pry a dead mouse from a stray cat's mouth on June 2 when the cat attacked him.
