Why is it soo important? I still havn't vaccinated my cat yet?

My cat is now about 5 months old, and we still havnt vaccinated him yet. (nothing at all). I’ve heard that it was okay if I was to keep him as an indoor cat and never let him out, which is what I’m doing. But some people suggest that he must get vaccinated. I will get him fixed in the future and get rabbies shots for him as he gets older.

Question:

  • does he have to be vaccinated in the past as a kitten, in order to be fixed when he matures?

  • is it too late to get his first vaccinations now? Since he is 5months, it was suggested that all shots are recieved by the end of 16weeks.. He is wayy to old now… It is still okay?

  • how do I cut his nails, without him attacking me? I dont believe in declawing.

  • is he safe, if I keep him always as an indoor pet?

Answer #1

NO REASON ALL IN GOOD FUN.BUT IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT IT YOU WILL GET IT DONE.PLEASE YOU CANT BEAT YOURSELF UP ABOUT IT. PEACE

Answer #2

awe please get your kitty vaccinated :( if you don’t then you NEVER know what could happen. he could get out and come in contact with something that gets him sick, even if you tried to keep the kitty inside. they do run away sometimes. and if you bring another pet home, even if it’s a LONG time in the future and the cat is older, if that pet has something that you don’t know about until it starts showing signs they could BOTH die. it’s SO much safer to get your cat vaccinated.

Answer #3

Get him vaccinated…always better safe than sorry. If anything ever happened that he got out, you’d feel like hell, if he got feline leukemia or distemper. It’s not worth the risk (after all, cats can live into their 20’s…that’s a LONG time to tell yourself that nothing will happen…that he’ll never get outside, or another cat will never come inside).

  • does he have to be vaccinated in the past as a kitten, in order to be fixed when he matures?

I don’t think it really matters wether he’s been vaccinated or not for him to get ‘fixed’.

  • is it too late to get his first vaccinations now? Since he is 5months, it was suggested that all shots are recieved by the end of 16weeks.. He is wayy to old now… It is still okay?

Nah, it’s never too late to get him vaccinated.

  • how do I cut his nails, without him attacking me? I dont believe in declawing.

You need to get him a scratching post, and they’ll eventually go down when he uses it, you can’t really cut his nails yourself, you’d be best going to a vets to get them to do it. You could make him bleed and stuff if you cut them too much.

  • is he safe, if I keep him always as an indoor pet?

Possibly. But if he ever gets out, he might catch something and possibly die. Hence why, in my opinion, you should really get him vaccinated… do it for the sake of him being okay and stuff…
