Hi Michael, I have vacillated on the litter issue quite a bit in the past year. We had a conversation here a while back about how clumping litters can cause issues in cats' stomachs because they lick the litter off their feet. So I got scared and switched to SweatScoop, a wheat based litter.

Hello. My vet does only one vaccination at a time and does them separately from the spay/neuter. He goes 2-4 weeks between each vaccination and the altering. Is there any point in vaccinating him for feline leukemia? I would be hesitant, I guess. Just my opinion. I only do the distemper series
