Do these need shots?
I am kitty-sitting for 2 declawed 8 yr. old cats who are indoors only.
But I have 5 in/out cats with all shots up to date. So can the indoor cats cach anything from my cats or need shots for any other reason? Their owner went to Kuwait and I will have these till Nov. Thanks |

Thanks YES - indoor cats can catch diseases from outdoor cats, regardless of whethere the outdoor cats have been vaccinated or not, they could be 'carriers' (research "Typohid Mary" for more info on 'carriers'). Please make sure that your Kuwaiti-bound friend's cats are up to date on all shots (for outdoor & indoor diseases, as well as wormed, etc.), before expeosing the different sets. Also, since your friend's pair is declawed, please try extremely hard to make sure that they do not get outside (and they will probably try to, once they see yours coming & going), as they are have lost one of their major defense modes. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!
