I took a feral cat to the vet last year for emergency medical treatment.
In addition to the emergency stuff, I had him fully vaccinated and
tested for fiv/leukemia. Now I've gotten a notice from the vet saying
distemper booster is due. Is it worth capturing him and taking him in
for the shot? None of the other ferals have been vaccinated, I
generally only extend routine health benefits to my house cats.

Naturally, these humorous remarks are all entirely my own opinion, based
solely
on rumor, supposition, innuendo and damned lies, and should be
interpreted in a
spirit of fun. My memory is faulty, also.

..........their computers spit out yearly reminders, whether you need them
or not. If the cat was an adult when he was vaccinated, I'd say no, doesn't
need any more shots.
