I read your story and I don't advise you give her any more rabies shots as long as you keep her and any other cats you have inside. I say this because I had a cat, Gwen, who is now gone that got VAS, vaccine associated sarcoma, from her rabies shot. This was about 11 years ago now. She was 7 years old at the time. They did want to remove her leg but I said no. I was lucky because I had found a website at the time advising that a cancer vet do the surgery rather than my regular vet. Again I was lucky having a cancer vet in my area. She had the tumor removed and lived 6 more years. I had two strictly indoor cats at the time and they didn't get any more shots. All cats need at least their initial rabies vaccine and if they go outdoors probably need routine shots so everyone has to decide for them self. Just be aware that it can happen.

Be sure to check your cats FREQUENTLY for bumps and anything out of the ordinary. I check them daily, and this one literally appeared overnight.

Just got the results back from the vet -- Ivan's fine. Both bumps taken off were not sinister. Better safe than sorry. This is an old pic, which is why he has hair!
