A distemper shot prevents your cat from getting a virus that could kill them. Feline distemper causes respiratory infection, gastrointestinal infection, and can affect the central nervous system. The shot keeps them protected from the virus which spreads easily.
No, cats cannot get distemper from dogs. Canine distemper virus specifically infects dogs and other members of the Canidae family, and does not affect cats. Cats are at risk for other diseases such as feline distemper (panleukopenia) or feline leukemia virus, but not distemper from dogs.

The 7-in-1 shot for dogs is a combination vaccine that protects against several diseases like distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and leptospirosis. To get this vaccine for your dog, you should consult with a veterinarian who can administer the appropriate vaccinations tailored to your dog's specific health needs.
Possible Side Effects to the Canine Distemper Vaccine • Lethargy - After receiving its vaccination, a dog may want to just lie around and sleep, avoiding its typical activities. • Slight fever - Some dogs react to vaccinations with a slightly elevated temperature. • Swelling at the injection site - Dogs occasionally get a lump at the injection site that absorbs into their system within a day or two. • Loss of appetite - Loss of appetite is another minor side effect to the distemper vaccine. While the majority of reactions to the distemper vaccine are minor, should the dog react with swelling of the face, diarrhea or vomiting, or become unresponsive, contact your veterinarian immediately.
