Ok -- I can't take it anymore -- my brother-in- law's cat recently bit (hard) my mother-in-law. At the vet, the cat got a distemper shot. My BIL now claims the shot has made him much nicer.
Trying not to be insulting, I said "Well, the distemper shot is to vaccinate against a form of "kitty flu" and doesn't have anything to do with biting. But, he insists it cured his cat's aggressiveness (he is not terribly smart).
So, last week my mother-in-law came to see the kitten and was encouraging me to get the kitten declawed. I said I was concerned about that since my BIL's declawed cat bit her and my sister-in-law was attacked and bit in the calf by her declawed cat (really badly). She said "well whatever you do make sure you get him a distemper shot so he doesn't bite". I wanted to scream "are you people just dumb?!"
So, later my husband brings it up that his brother said to get this shot. I finally set him straight that his brother didn't know what the heck he talking about and I am not sure he believed me! So I sent him some info on distemper from the web.
Do you see what I have to live with??
