How to use this record to verify
This record exists so that anyone can check for themselves whether the text has been altered. Every chapter of the veterinary encyclopaedia carries a starting line number and a content hash (the first 16 characters of its SHA-256). Recompute the hash over the original chapter: if it matches the value recorded below, what is published here is identical to the source chapter. The source list at the end is the authoritative material cited by that chapter — a chapter-level correspondence, meaning those sources underpin the chapter as a whole rather than mapping sentence by sentence. This is educational information and cannot replace a practising veterinarian; in an emergency, seek care immediately.
This record notes the source location of "Cats | Preventive Medicine | Evidence chain": the section beginning at line 257 of `21-T2-貓.md` in the veterinary encyclopaedia. The SHA-256 of that section (first 16 characters) is `8a57955e399b8317`, which anyone can recompute to confirm the content has not been altered.

FAQ
- What should be noted about core vaccines for cats?
- Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV, feline distemper) / feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) / feline calicivirus (FCV). Kittens need a primary series plus subsequent boosters; the specific age in weeks and the number of doses are individualised and regional decisions, and this file does not supply them 【Verification result: this item should not be given a fixed value — it belongs to the do-not-fill category and depends on the local attending animal hospital and the veterinarian's case-by-case judgement, 2026-07-30】, so decide according to the current WSAVA / FelineVMA (AAFP) 2020 Feline Vaccination Guidelines (the catvets.com guideline list confirms they exist, verified 2026-07-30). The actual judgement still rests with a veterinarian on a case-by-case basis, and this article gives no drug names or dosages.
- What should be noted about non-core vaccines for cats?
- Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) — assessed by age and lifestyle (outdoor access, multi-cat, shelter environment); chlamydia (*Chlamydia felis*); bordetella (*Bordetella*); availability of FIV vaccine 【varies with regional regulation and market conditions, and this file does not supply a specific list of regions — it belongs to the do-not-fill category; please consult your local veterinarian】. The actual judgement still rests with a veterinarian on a case-by-case basis, and this article gives no drug names or dosages.
- What should be noted about rabies in cats?
- Decided according to local regulation and the epidemic situation in the area; it is a statutory management matter (this file does not give legal advice — follow the announcements of the competent authority). The actual judgement still rests with a veterinarian on a case-by-case basis, and this article gives no drug names or dosages.
