Portia has had her jabs every single year for the last 18 years. But now she is a house cat who spends 75% of her day asleep and the other 25% slapping me (this is not new!)
I have decided not to use a cattery when I take my family camping this summer. Obie's other woman is going to come and feed them all, as Ophie hates the cattery and refuses to eat. So Portia doesn't need her jabs for that.
Occasionally she totters out into the back garden and sleep in a plant pot. That's it. The other two are jabbed up yearly and no plan to change but I have been reading info online which suggests it is NOT necessary to vaccinate yearly, and as she is an old girl, slow kidney failure and slightly demented I feel it's pretty unlikely she will be exposed to anything.
Can anyone advise me? She hates the vets so much and it stresses her horribly so she refuses to eat and pees all round the house after every visit.

Is it really necessary to keep vaccinating my 18 yr old girl?
