    Thanks for the heads up on special vaccines. I once again find myself wondering if the family farm cats are better or worse than neighborhood roaming cats.

      Farm cats save untold thousands (millions?) in ag equipment repair from rodent damage yearly, without using poisons that harm other wildlife. So they get a pass from me as a working animal.
