In my state, cats that spend any time inside are the ones that are
required to have a rabies vaccination. The rabies regulations are to
protect humans. Besides which (1) bats get into houses and (2) there is
no practical way to prove that a cat has been inside only. New Hampshire
RSA 436.100 makes no mention of an exemption for inside only cats.



What do you think about cats who spend all their time in apartments with no
other animals around (unless the visit to the vet is counted). Some vets
even think the booster shots are superfluous in this environment.

The problem is that even in the best of places there are still rabies
vectors. Be it rodentia, bats, insect, etc. there's almost always a
transmission route.

What I think doesn't matter; the laws of my state do if I want to protect
a cat I own.
