Oy vey, Cosmicmojo! I do thank you for your kindness at not calling me a jerk and for not judging my morality, although I didn't know that refusal to vaccinate one's cats was a moral issue. Now, what my cats and I do in private when everyone else is asleep .. well, that might be a moral issue. The scenarios you present are just not plausible. My vet is a smart cookie though. She has a sign in her waiting room that specifically says "please keep cats in carriers" and unless I get high from the aromatherapeutic scent, I and her other clients usually pay close attention to that sign. If we lived life with a "what if" attitude, many of us would not leave the house in the morning, although when I get home after work tonight, I'm going to have a word with those squirrels and tell them "no scratching in MY backyard".
