In the East Bay this week, a domestic cat confirmed to carry rabies was euthanized, setting in motion the quiet but urgent machinery of public health. Rabies is among the oldest and most unforgiving of diseases — nearly always fatal once symptoms emerge in a human being, yet entirely preventable when caught in time. The incident asks communities to remember that the boundary between wild nature and domestic life is thinner than it appears, and that vigilance, not fear, is the appropriate response.
