Thank you for all your replies everyone! Very much appreciated. It is really interesting to know that quite a lot of indoor cat owners don't get their cats vaccinated; I am of this mind-set as well. Unless we use a cattery or they become outdoor cats, I also feel that there will be no need to get my two vaccinated. Partly due to their huge distate for needles and injections, but also because I am sceptical of all these vaccinations they are given, and with reports such as DM mentioned of them doing more harm than good, my two are safe indoors with no contact to outside world or cats... |

Coincidentally I just happen to be reading a cat book by Dr. Michael W. Fox, a well known vet here in the States, and quote from him in the Vaccinations section: "Adult cats need periodic booster shots; your vet will keep a record.Too many indoor cats who are never allowed to roam the neighborhood (nor should they, I believe) are given unnecessary vaccinations, because the risks far exceed the chances of exposure to infected cats." |
