Aren't cats considered evil? Maybe he was cursed? C'Mon....stray cat goes in house and bites him? On the other hand he may have been taking anit-rejection drugs causing his immune system to be weak......

It would help if the article mentioned how he actually died. He was bitten by a cat, but what happened after that that killed him? Infection? Disease? What? Could of been anything.

What I got out of it is all this worry about kidney failure and ESRD you can get hit by a bus or bit by a stray cat.  You just never know.
