Rabies Vaccine Follow-Up: You Commented, We're Answering

Last week's episode, "My Cat Never Goes Outside — Does It Really Need a Rabies Vaccine?", sparked a LOT of conversation—and some pretty strong opinions!

So we're following up.

Molly dives into the questions, concerns, and claims that came up after the episode, including whether indoor cats really need rabies vaccination, whether vaccines can cause serious reactions, the truth about mRNA and newer rabies vaccines, rabies in mice and rats, goats and opossums, bats getting into homes, vaccine titers, three-year versus annual vaccination, and the confusing patchwork of rabies laws across the U.S.

We'll also tackle some of the myths that surfaced in the comments—including the idea that rabies isn't real, that cats are born with rabies, and that cat-scratch disease is the same thing as rabies.

This isn't about telling you what to think. It's about giving you better information so you can ask better questions and make informed decisions for your cat.

You asked. Molly dug into the facts. Now let's talk rabies. Again.
