Will cats get cat plague if kept at home?

Generally, cats kept at home will not get feline distemper, but if the cat itself carries the feline distemper virus, or the family comes into contact with a cat carrying the feline distemper virus outside, the cat may be infected with feline distemper, especially Cats that have not been vaccinated are at greater risk of infection. Therefore, even cats raised at home should be vaccinated on time, which can reduce the chance of cats being infected with feline distemper.
