Distemper is very contagious! You should clean all areas that the previous dog with distemper was in or on. Use a cleaning solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water. Wipe down everything you can. The best solution is to make sure the new dog is up to date on their distemper vaccinations (DHLP/Parvo a combination vaccine against Distemper, Hepatitis, Lepto, Parainfluenza and Parvo). Make sure if this is an adult dog, that they have had their Distemper vaccination within the last 6 months, if not then then revaccinate again in 2-3 weeks. Wait about 3-4 weeks from that last distemper vaccine before bringing in the new dog. If it is a puppy that is coming in, that could be bad. You just never know for sure when the puppy has built up enough immunity as the Dam's antibodies could be interfering with the distemper vaccines up through 4-5 months. That is why you vaccinate a pup starting at 7-8 weeks, then again 3 weeks later, then again 3 weeks later, then the last one to be given at 4 months. Distemper is a shame to see these days when we have vaccines to prevent that. It is a horrible virus that causes a lot of pain, seizures, etc. etc. Very painful way to die.

Is it necessary for an eighteen year old cat who goes outside for one hour a day to have distemper shots anymore?

This sounds bad, but probably not. 18 years is a long time for a cat to have lived and by now, it's probably got another 5 years -maximum- with the best health care and diet. Realistically, at most another 3.
