I hope that he is just mad at me right now and its not a bad reaction. He just seems moody. He doesnt want me too close right now. I dont know . My husband said wait and see how he is in the morning , so I gues we will try that.

Each cat responds differently in my experience, too. Some seem to feel fine, but want NOTHING to do with me for a day or two. I became a "traitor," and they have to decide when I am forgiven, ha ha. Others do react to the shot, and sleep or get sluggish for a 24 period. Others just don't want me touching anywhere behind their shoulders for a few days. I don't know if that is because the shot site is sore, or because they are wary of another shot coming along! And it is not just the shots, but also the stress of the vet visit, the carrier experience, the ride in the car. All that stress can tire them out too. So there is lot going on and it normally passes in a day or so. Good luck and call your vet if you are concerned!

The first couple of times mine got their shots, they came home and I felt so sorry for them, they just felt so bad that they just laid there, didn't play, eat or want to be held.

Samantha was in such bad shape when I first got (malnourished and ate up with fleas) her that I thought the shots were going to kill her. She didn't move for 2 days and cried in pain when I touched her.. Scared me to death!
