Good luck TopCat 1 and TopCat2. I tend to agree with you regarding the vaccinations. Rusty and Fluffy had Rabies and I think it was Distemper at the same time last year and boy did they both have terrible reactions. It looked like they were in severe pain, could hardly move around and were very down for 24 - 36 hours. I called the vet and was told some cats experience this. Well, I never want to put mine through that again. Also, years ago, I had to have my beloved Tasha PTS because she developed cancer and I believe it was due to years of vaccinations. TopCat3, isn't it great the way we put our "kids" before us. Hope you get to have your dentistry done too. Best wishes for a normal, routine check up with no surprises! What a great name for a Vet!!!
