The Amer Assoc of Feline Practitioners (pretty traditional in their approach) states on their website <http://www.avma.org/AAFP/> that most vets are recommending three-year distemper boosters for cats instead of annual. I personally don't vaccinate anyone in my house (dog, cats, ferrets) more than every few years (unless it's a ferret who comes in contact with the public). It's something everyone will have to decide for themselves after reading up on the issue; there is always lots of controversy about vaccines. Ferret Tarot-- yay! great idea! "The Fool"--yup, lots of volunteers in my house :-) also "the hanged man" could be a possum? I love the idea! Ronnie in Mass.
