Fred is Quarantined

[Klynne]

My cat Fred is quarantined to the house. That is ok, I never let him outside anyway.

Two of my cats are kind of a mess, so I took them to the groomer today. Knuckles did fine, but Fred bit the groomer during his bath. I told them, that they may just want to brush him out. They decided to bathe him and he bit the person who was giving him a bath. This person went to the hospital, and the hospital reported the bite to the Health Department. The Health Department called me and sent an animal control officer out. I frantically searched for Fred's vaccine records and thankfully, I found them.

If I had not had the papers, the only way to test a cat for rabies, is to have them killed, and send their head to a lab. I kid you not. Always keep your cats up to date on their shots, and keep the papers close by.
