of Midnight, for you and your family.
Now, we must all hope for the best for your other
kitties. I can imagine how scared you are for them.

I really take offense at what your vet suggested, is Midnight not

CRF (chronic renal failure) in cats is very treatable, unless it's extremely
advanced. I would get a second opinion, and maybe a third one too. Check out my

Probably a mind urinary tract infection... but they should probably send him
home
with antibiotics from his neuter anyways, so that will take care of both
things! Do
insist on the antibiotics... for a FELV+ cat, you really can't be too safe.

Just make sure it's a NON-adjuvanted rabies and distemper vaccine, and that the
distemper is not a "combo" vaccine that has Chlamydophila (also known as:
Chlamydiosis, Chlamydia psittaci) in it, as it's an unnecessary vaccine with
common
side effects and very little benefit. Ask for Merial's PUREV

Midnight is not licensed. That is not a requirement in my county. I
was told by my vet that he is required to have rabies and distemper
vaccines in order to come into the vet for the surgery because of the
other cats. Problem #1 is that he is there for check ups with out the
vaccines. #2 he

If Midnight isn't licensed, then it is your vet that is insisting on
it. Vaccines are a judgement call. You have to weigh the protection
against the stress it might cause. You mentioned that Midnight has
already had a fever, the fact that he's already been sick
Thanks to everyone for your advice. From what I have read, I think that
he is not spraying. Maybe marking (thank God he hasn't felt the need to
claim me!) or peeing but not spraying. I called the vet about having
him neutered and they said he has to have a rabies shot and distemper.

Getting a cat neutered will often stop the spraying but I wouldn't
wait any longer, if it becomes a habit it may not stop. I have had this
