Feline leukemia vaccine??
I'd like to know what the opinion's are on the feline leukemia vaccine.
Whiskers was an indoor cat for her first eight months, but then I made the mistake of taking her out on a halter and leash. She then started driving me crazy as she wanted to be taken out all the time. I finally gave in and let her go out by herself. Actually, she's pretty good. She doesn't roam and stays mainly in the back yard. Maybe because when I did take her out, I always said "NO"!, whenever she tried to go beyond the property line. I also have a cat door so that she is free to come in and eat whenever she feels like it which is about 10 times a day. :-) She is not allowed out at night. That is a definite no-no and seems to be something she understands. I do see a few cats that do come into my yard every once in awhile and that makes me nervous. I lost my last cat to feline leukemia about 20 years ago and this is the first cat I've had since then. Thanks for any opinions you might have. Rita |

Everyone has their opinions (and usually strong ones at that), personally this is fairly close to my own. I only suggest doing as much reading as possible before going to the vets. Most traditional/western vets I've gone to are ready to stick the cat before they say hello to me. In fact, even had one try to stick my *sick* cat with a vaccine. If you go ahead with it, make sure your kitty is in optimal health first. Your Whiskers sounds a lot like my cat Kid =) She looooves her walks! Jen. "Rita" wrote in message ...
