This kitten is very gentle and quiet not like many others that i have seen in many movies. Perhaps because he has been abandoned and rescued. He will be a good friend for his owner.
this kitten is so sweet, didnt even make a sound when needle went in, even i would be like ouch at the doctors when getting a jab very lucky owner to have such a beautiful kitty
We had a black silky kitty in the 1970s-80s. She was very clever and sweet. Miss her. Black kitties seem to always have yellow eyes? Verbalizing seems to calm them?
Why do the black specks turn red when wet? Is this flea poop that's basically blood?
Hi Kalli, the black flecks are indeed blood.
I'm getting a 2 kittens at the start of the Christmas holidays when they will be weaned. Which medication will they need and how much will it cost?
Thank, You :)
+Ali Jaffery Please talk to your local vet surgery and book your kittens in for a consultation and their vaccinations when you know when the kittens will be coming home. As a guide vaccinations cost around £35 a consultation varies but on average around £35. Talk to your local practice they may have a deal or pet plan you can join to help reduce the costs.
Hazel O'Mullan Thank you.
My kitten just had a reaction to vaccinations severe lethargy and stopped eating and drinking I rushed her in to the emergency veterinarian and they gave her steroids that seem to help resolve a lot of her issues for every vaccinations she gets she has to have a steroid mixed in the injection
I am actually watching this because my kitten is going to get shots soon
is it ok to pat the cat while it has fleas? fleas won't move out onto me?
+demoiselle ann Fleas may jump onto you and bite but they cannot live on you. Please talk to your local surgery and ensure your cat is regularly wormed and receiving flea treatment.
Good jobe exeleant.
Did the shot hurt
+Noha Elgendy Hi there, the kitten would not feel any pain just a bit of a scratch much like how it feels for us to have a vaccine.

Why do you vaccinate cats that are exclusively home cats?
+Eva K hi Eva we vaccinate house cats because most of the common viruses are transmittable through you and your guests clothing and shoes and of course your cat may escape!
+Dane Walker Which ones are transmittable through us that vaccines prevent? Unless we work in shelters or pet cats outside, what exactly is the risk of us bringing in say distemper? Is it really higher than the risk of highly aggressive cancer? Also, there's been studies that the immunity lasts longer e.g. maybe even 5 or 7 years for distemper after the kitten series and first year, and anyway, how many indoor cats you know that got distemper if they stopped after first year booster? I understand the reason of cats escaping, but one needs to consider the risk of FISS vs the risk of the cat's escaping and catching something and that would depend on a cat, and while some clinics do consider it, many don't. I do understand about the kittens - they may go outside and they also more likely to escape, same for first year booster. But after that, surely it should depend on the lifestyle. FISS is rare, but it's terrifying. Also, is this cat an indoor cat? If so, why is he getting FELV when it's a non-core vaccine? AAFP in the US only recommends it for cats that go outside, and this is the UK? Or does this cat go outside? Rabies is subject to state law, so that doesn't matter, but again, one would think vets would want to always use Purevax and with the new 3 year Purevax out for a year and a half, why it's impossible to find a vet that has it? Oh, and then they give it in a scruff - do they even care that there is no way to cut out cancer there?
@@jewelmarkess just get the damn shot, jeezus christ
I don't take my cat for vaccinations
deo time why?
Argh, please do not vaccinate in the scruff! This is against all current vaccination guidelines which recommend as distally on the limb as possible in case a sarcoma develops. Or newer techniques are being used that vaccinate in the tail, again in case a sarcoma develops. Please show these techniques instead.
Jacqueline Munera Hi Jacqueline, the current accepted vaccination protocol in the UK is to vaccinate in the subcutaneous area of the scruff. We appreciate that the guidelines vary in other countries especially US however we must follow our UK protocols. Thanks for your comment and we are continually assessing our stand on the vaccination debate.
London Vets Do you realize the reason that the US recommends not to use the scruff area is that if FISS develops then the leg can be cut off, but in the scruff area it's a death sentence. So why doesn't the UK considers it? Why do the UK want the few cats that end up developing sarcoma to get it in the area where the cancer is difficult to cut off? Not to mention that you have many vaccines in one area and you cannot track which one results in more sarcoma cases.

Wow the salt. Just because the US does it like that, that doesn't mean the UK has to follow your ways. They have their own protocol and you have your own. Case closed
