Indoor cats vaccinations

Is it worth getting indoor cat vaccinated do you think?
How likely is it they'll get one of the things they're vaccinated for?

I would.

Also may be worth checking your insurance policy, as it may require annual boosters.

I don't vaccinate mine.

It doesn't invalidate their insurance, but it does mean they're not covered for anything that could have been prevented by having their vaccinations.

It does also mean they can't go to a cattery while you're away so that's worth considering. Mine have a cat sitter when we're away so it's no problem for us.

Yes I just unsure as to whether the risk of them getting the things is nil or how unlikely it is

Our older cats are almost 6 and 7 and we've never vaccinated them. IMO the risk if they never go out is absolutely tiny.

Obviously it's up to you to weigh up the pros and cons but personally unless I was going to be using a cattery on a regular basis then I wouldn't bother myself.
