French authorities are warning of a rabies threat after a cat died of the disease, previously thought to have been eliminated from the country.

The two-month-old black and tan kitten was found last Friday in Argenteuil, near Paris. It died three days later.

France's Ministry of Agriculture has begun an investigation and vaccinated five people as a precaution.

France was declared free of rabies in 2001 but a dog imported from Morocco infected other dogs in 2008.
