| I take my cat to the vet to get her yearly shots. I also took her to have her teeth cleaned back in Feb of this year. I had to take her several times in January to get her well when she got sick. So I take her once a year to get her shots, whenever she's sick, or if I happen to come across a free exam or something somewhere.

At least once per year for shots and then again a couple more times when we need to board him. They take such good care of my baby there!

To tell you the truth, I haven't taken my cats to the veterinarian in a long time. I have reasons though. My younger cat does NOT get into the carrier so she's gone to the vet only once since we've had her, and my other cat is too old to go to the vet. He would die of a heart attack on the way there and I'd rather not take him to the vet rather than take him and scare him to death.

we take our animals about 2x a year, but with Einsteins Medical problems it's about 3-4 times a year.

We have 4 cats and historically we take them in once a year. Now that two of them have kidney issues they go in every 3-2 months
The folks at CatBehaviourMaven have lived with multiple cats for over 15 years. See what they have to say at:

We take our cats each year for their check up and shots. Thankfully so far, we've only had to make one or two extra trips when something wrong popped up.

George has to go every 2-3 months to get his anal glands "squished" . If I have any other issues they would go right away.

I take mine yearly. Since I have seven they are spaced out through the year having to take just two & three at a time. My vet is an angel-I call him the cat whisperer because he can cleans their teeth with no sedation and they sit and let him do it! My two white cats take Viralys in their food to keep their eyes healthy. Then there are flea treatments and allergy shots and of course here and there someone needs an antibiotic. He deals with me year round!

| I have always taken mine in annually plus when needed. Missy generally has been going twice a year to be checked, our vet does shots just every 3 yrs or so now, although it used to be more often, much has been learned in the field. I know having titres checked can confirm if a shots needed but as my kids have all been inside only I don't bring them in but when I KNOW its needed, for exam or illness, I cant see adding stress of lab draws and bringing them in the following week or so, for shots. Missy has gone in a few times a year as she has allergies and we have had trouble getting them under control. Vet will be surprised when she goes in again, her tummys coated again for the first time in years.
