I was having a conversation with a work friend the other day as she is looking for a kitten. I told her that our local shelter has a lot of kittens at the moment but she said that she wouldn't get a kitten from a shelter because they visit your house and make you sign to say they will be spayed/neutered. She is a long-term cat owner and has always got her cats fixed but she doesn't vaccinate them and they are all outdoor cats?? She asked me why I bother to have my cats vaccinated if they are confined to an enclosure.THEN another colleague said she never vaccinates her cat either!! Anyway that's another story and I didn't want to get into a heated debate with someone I have to work with every day.
My question is that I have always had my cats vaccinated each year and although they are not strictly indoor (they have an enclosure, as some of you already know) do they actually need to be vaccinated? I know that cats catch things through fighting and catching prey but can they catch somthing airborne also?
I know a lot of you have indoor/confined cats. Do you vaccinate?
