Sirrahbed, did this thread hit a nerve? j/k
I agree with everything that everyone here has said. I am probably wrong but I don't take my babies unless it is too be fixed or if they are sick. I'm sure as they age it may increase some but to me its not worth the stress for them. I get their kitten vaccinations and that is it.

Here is food for thought...My hubby was born into a very poor family. His momma didn't make it to the hospital when he was born. She had eight kids and he is the only one that was born at home. He didn't go to the doctor and he never got any baby shots or vaccinations (it wasn't a law back then). All of his brothers and sisters got their baby shots and initial vaccinations. Now, hubby NEVER got any childhood diseases and was NEVER sick! He was even quarentined in the house when his WHOLE family got some kind of sickness. All the kids also had chicken pocs (sp?) and mumps. He never got it! The worst thing my hubby has to deal with is rotten sinuses and most of that comes from having a broken nose many years ago. The screwed up bone doesn't allow for proper drainage. He has always told me that he truly believes that because he never recieved all those shots is why he doesn't get sick. He REALLY TRULY does not understand what it is like to be sick.
Maybe he is just lucky or maybe there is something to it. All I know is that it doesn't make for a very compassionate hubby when your sick because he really doesn't know what it feels like!!
