Are cat immune systems rather pants? Their supplemental wild diet too ridden with horrors? The cat jabs just not very effective?
I am usually very pro-jabs, but am wondering why cat owners are advised to get their pets boosters every year for up to 20 years and more, when most humans can manage 80+ years on a max. of 5-6 shots, often just 1 or 2 vaccinations will confer lifelong immunity. And we are pretty filthy creatures ourselves, on the whole.
Locally offered cat jabs for Feline leukemia, FIV & Cat flu. Does the cat flu get updated every year, maybe, like human flu jab?
