<p>As you know, we have a new cat at our house. He is normally very busy and active. Right now, he is sleeping. He had his vet appointment this morning and did have a distemper shot. Could he be a little under the weather due to the distemper shot? He played a bit when he got home…and has eaten some…and had water. I’m so used to him acting a bit nuts that I’m worried.</p>
<p>He should be fine. Our little cat is always wiped out for a day or two after getting her shots.</p>
<p>I just did a google search and one of the most common side effects is sleepiness. Still, this is not my kitty and I hope he’s ok!</p>
<p>Yes- the shots can really knock them out. Don’t worry.</p>
<p>Agree with others. Going to the Dr. Is pretty scary. Should be fine soon.</p>
<p>Shots can make them tired. </p>
<p>One of the funniest things a cat did was Lily when had dental surgery. We brought her home and she was staggering around the house shouting at us. Like a warped, angry drunk.</p>
<p>Our cat got so wiped out that the vet started giving her a kitty Benadryl shot before her vaccinations.</p>
<p>Update…the kitty is back to his bonkers self. There is a piece of me that misses him sleeping!</p>
<p>You need to keep him well until the owner is back. I am more nervous about someone else’s kid than with mine.</p>

<p>:) Just wait 3-4 years. Good to hear that the kitty is OK. How’s the older cat coping with the situation?</p>
<p>The old cat is not yet “adapting” to having a new cat in the house. Yesterday the vet said they might never get along. Wonderful.</p>
<p>We’ve had our kitten since August and just now one of our older cats decided he’s here to stay. So … one down and one to go. Don’t give up yet.</p>
