I would really urge anyone to research, and weigh carefully the risks
involved, and
the various types of rabies vax available. Rabies *is* a horrible
disease, but honestly, a housecat doesn't have a big risk factor.
Biskit does not get a rabies vax, because she never sticks her head
outside, and Yoda doesn't get one because the last one, in 2000,
nearly killed him. I know it's the law, but Yoda will
never get another rabies vaccination. And like you said, the rabies
titre lasts much longer than it is labeled. I used to be almost
fanatical about getting vaccinations, the full protection available,
*exactly* on the month they were due. I'm not so much
anymore, and I dread vaccinations when Boots and Frank and Wozzy go
in. AFter
the ordeal with Yoda, it's sure not a routine thing. I worry myself
sick about it every time.

Lots of purrs,
