After many years because of Covid, we took Skye to the vet for her needles.

Her last rabies shot lasted three years. This year, our new vet suggested getting one that lasts only a year.

I’ve always done the right thing by keeping my pets inoculated, but this time was different.

Somehow, putting our cat through a rabies needle seemed pointless. Skye’s an indoor cat, and unlikely to meet up with a raccoon or a skunk.
