This month’s cat vocabulary is the word vaccine. I don’t know of anyone who likes to get shots for anything, but sometimes we do need them. As long as we don’t have any adverse reactions to the vaccine, they should help us stay healthy and prevent serious health problems from occurring.

For cats, that means a rabies vaccine and perhaps a few others. It is a good idea to make sure they have their vaccine so they don’t go crazy and bite random humans for no real reason.

I’m just happy that when they get their shots, it doesn’t take very long and they do get over it fairly quickly. It seems to help when whoever gave them the shot distracts them with some playful way.
