How necessary is it to get indoor cats vaccinated every year? I have two 1 and a half year old boys who got their full shots when they were kittens and again a month ago. They are 100% indoor, have no exposure to any other animals, and I plan to keep it that way of the rest of their lives. Do they really need anything other then a regular checkup?

One of my roommates a couple of years ago had a cat living in the house when a raccoon decided to crawl down a vent pipe and die. We didn't discover it until we could smell it, and by that time it had already coated one corner of the basement with all kinds of nasty fluids. There wasn't enough bleach in the world to make that corner okay again.

No matter how hard you try to keep your cats safe, there's always a bizarre chance that a bat or raccoon or other potential carrier will break in. That probably falls under the "some people keep their cats vaccinated for peace of mind" category. :)
