Kitten Shots

It has been over 25 years since I had a kitten and don't remember my cats ever reacting like that.

Thanks,

Hey Mickee...it's worth mentioning to your vet that your kittens had this type of reaction to their first shots.

I agree with Katie. If the reaction is bad enough, the vet can give an injection along with the shots to prevent the lethargy and not eating. Having said that, many cats and kittens have a reaction like this - feeling really off.
