I took my male, age 5, neutered cat to the vet today, and he got antibiotics for a UTI, dewormer for tapeworms, and a 3 year rabies vaccine. Tonight he is twitching a lot in his sleep, probably dreaming, but periodically wakes up and gives a strange, almost confused/scared sounding meow and then tries to bite me. This is very unusual behavior for him, he is normally a sweetheart. Is this possibly a reaction to the vaccine or one of the other medicines he was given earlier today?

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

My Bugsy had a horrible reaction to this vaccine (3yr rabies); he was in pain for 4 days, limping, with a high fever for a couple of days, red swollen eyes, and very depressed.
My vet had to give him 2 different injections a couple of days later to "neutralize" these effects - he was fine after that. It was very very scary. This was the only time he took a non-purevax vaccine, and the last.
If he has other effects, call your vet.
Thanks for the information. Purevax was the vaccine he got last year when I first adopted him, but this time (I just moved recently, so it was a new vet) they did a 3 year vaccine. I will call in the morning to see if anything needs to be done.
