I heard from a friend, not sure if it’s accurate, that hospital personnel will be required to get the vaccine. Maybe not the best idea. Who’s gonna be there to treat patients, if down the road it’s discovered that the vaccine has devastating adverse reactions? After all, this vaccine has been rushed through. I would think that rushing through most everything could have devastating consequences.
Hi Savvy,I have the same view when it comes to animals as far as protecting them. It’s not enough to just say you love them. As owners, more is expected of us and these creatures deserve it.

As owners, more is expected of us and these creatures deserve it. Years ago I had around 20 feral cats and I made sure they were all spayed, neutered and fed. These were all other people’s cats that were allowed to roam. You’re absolutely right. It does shorten their lives, they’re unhealthier, many aren’t vaccinated and they suffer needlessly from dog attacks, wild critters, hurt or killed by vehicles and left to die on their own. It breaks my heart. In my world, that’s not the definition of love. All they ask for is to be loved and fed and it’s up to us to do the rest and some people are failing them miserably. And, yes, they are as helpless as children. If some people are unwilling or unable to give all that’s needed to a pet, I would hope that they‘d resist the temptation to bring an animal home in o... less

I, however, will continue to default to protecting and that means also keeping them happy, healthy and loved. I think no matter what/who a person loves, they deserve all three. Thank you for your insight.

So I’m reaching out here in the hopes someone can enlighten me. There are countless posts from owners of indoor/outdoor cats coming up missing and even dead. One man said they love their cat to pieces but told people not to feed them. Can someone please tell me why some are more concerned about their cat being fed by strangers than they are it getting injured or possibly dying? Personally, I would opt to being loved a little less and kept safe from harm. I realize some cats aren’t happy being kept indoors. But I’d prefer an unhappy and safe pet to a happy dead one. Any thoughts? less
