The Mercer County Health Department announced Monday that six people who were scratched, bitten or touched by a rabid cat in a Princeton neighborhood began vaccine treatment last week. Melody Rickman with the health department says another person was exposed to another animal that may have had contact. That person sought treatment Sunday after reading about the cat in the newspaper. Rickman says it's the seventh rabies case in Mercer County this year. The other rabid animals were a skunk, one fox and four raccoons.
