Man narrowly develops BUBONIC PLAGUE and narrowly escapes death after cat bite | Mail Online: "A 59-year-old man is out of hospital after spending a month in intensive care due to infection from the bubonic plague.

Paul Gaylord, 59, developed the symptoms after he was bitten by a stray cat his family had adopted.

The cat, named Charlie, had caught a rodent which was stuck in his throat. It is thought that the rat was infected by fleas, which carry the disease."
