• In our analysis, the monthly counts of raccoons testing positive were associated with the risk of a cat testing positive.

• Two models were developed using different groupings of temporal stages of raccoon rabies in a county.

• Annual surveillance summaries of animal rabies also suggest a persistent elevation in rabid cats following in the wake of the spreading raccoon epizootic.

• The density of raccoon rabies cases is illustrated in the main map as a grey scale using the density scale at bottom right.

• An epizootic algorithm defined a time-series of successive intervals of epizootic and inter-epizootic raccoon rabies.

• Increased monthly counts of rabid raccoons and skunks and decreasing human population density increased the probability of cat rabies in most models.

• After the first raccoon epizootic, the risk for cat rabies remained elevated at levels six- to seven-fold above baseline.

• By removing rabies cases mis-classified as raccoon variant, the exclusive contribution of the raccoon rabies epizootic to risk of spillover infection in cats was shown.

• The preraccoon variant and the sporadic raccoon variant stages were combined to increase model stability to form a pre-epizootic stage (a+b).

• A possible exception to this has been the development of rabies in the raccoon dog.

• Only those cases demonstrated to be infected with the raccoon strain of rabies were included in this study.

• An indicator variable was included for the temporal stage of the raccoon epizootic in the county of origin for the month of testing.

• Interaction terms combining positive raccoons or positive skunks with the temporal stage were not significant.

• In contrast to the earlier models, the number of raccoons testing positive was not significantly associated with rabies in cats.
