As much as I hate doing it to them, I do vaccinate my 2 younger cats (even though they are indoor-only). I hate how they are so "blah" for a day or two after, but I figure that's better than getting really sick later with something preventable, KWIM?

However, I no longer vaccinate my 16+ year old (and haven't for the past 2 years). He's just too old to be subjected to the "blah" aftereffects of shots. Plus, my Rudy, who died in July 2001 at almost 18, was vaccinated shortly before he got sick the final time - and I swear the vaccinations had something to do with it.

Just my 0.02$
