Russian PM treated for rabies
MOSCOW, June 2 (UPI) -- Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov has been treated for a possible case of rabies after being bitten by a wild cat.
The Russian daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta reported Thursday a wild cat had bitten Fradkov while visiting his country residence in late May. | Now that is devious. I have enough trouble keeping the cats off the counter, much less training them to attack a specific person. |
The prime minister's security detail was able to capture to the cat for medical examination. | "Yurgi, go grab that crazed rabid cat, will you?" "Say what?" |
Kremlin medical officials are taking Fradkov's misfortune seriously due to a recent outbreak of rabies in the Moscow region that has claimed three lives this year. The prime minister's press service has denied repeated media claims Fradkov is in poor health. | "He's perfectly fine, just foaming at the mouth." |
