An educated cat owner may skip it, general public won't be as informed and vets rarely stop to say "hey, this vaccine may be unneeded." - it'll cost them money.

My Sho's had it. I had told the vet tech to mark down that I didn't think it was necessary but they took him back and the vet used the combo with it.

And yes, I'd say Cally is used to people. A feral takes a lot longer to win over and allow touching. If you want her to forgive you sooner wet food and treats makes any cat happy.

Does she brrr at you?

Oh, I forgot to mention. The vet who saw Cally very kindly did not charge me for the tooth they pulled. :-) Its not a big deal, but I've always appreciated that kind of small courtesy that business owners do for their customers.

Wow that is nice. I don't think my vet would do it free of charge & I've spent a lot of money at the vets office.

Maybe it's a southern thing? The vet I use hasn't charged me for some visits and medication.
