Across the United States and Puerto Rico, 2008 brought good news about rabies: Reported cases were down 3.1percent, from 7,060 cases in 2007 to 6,841 cases in 2008. Rabies continues to affect wildlife more often than domestic animals. Raccoons, bats, skunks, and foxes accounted for 93 percent of all rabies cases reported in 2008, according to a report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta) and published in a September issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. dog-related cases were down about 19 percent, from 93 reports in 2007 to 75 in 2008. Rabies cases among cats, however, increased, and that poses a health risk to people and other animals, warn veterinarians and public health officials. According to the CDC report, rabies in cats was up 12 percent with 294 reported cases compared with 262 in 2007.

Part of the increase is because cats more frequently interact with wildlife where they're prone to being bitten by a rabid animal, said Jesse Blanton, an epidemiologist at the CDC. Also, cats aren't getting the vaccinations they need. "The CDC's general beleif is that people but not their cats," Blanton said. "We have controlled canine rabies through vaccination of domestic dogs, so we know that vaccinating works." A seperate report from the American Veterinary Medical Association (Schaumburg, III.) indicates 36.3 percent of U.S. cat-owning households didn't visit a veterinarian in 2006. The simple act of vaccinating a pet, Blanton said, provides protection to the animal and the humans with whom it may come in contact. Vaterianarians can vaccinate dogs and cats, and they will advise clients on the recommended or required frequency of vaccination needed.
Cats were the only domestic animal to show increased rabies cases in 2008
