Yesterday my cat has her rabies shot, her FVRCP Vaccination and FeLV vaccation. She has been very lethargic and just sleeps.
She has eaten, and used her litter box. But she has slept for the past 16 hours. She usually wakes us for breakfast. She did not Is this normal? should I take her to emergency?

This is normal. In the future I would recommend not giving all the vaccinations at one time but rather spread them out over a couple of weeks time. Giving all vaccinations at once overwhelms the cats system.

Well, first of all to the person that said the cat is "pissed", animals don't have the ability to get "mad"at their owners, your giving them human characteristics. If your cat hid for a week it was probably just stressed out and not feeling well. It didn't have anything to do with it being pissed at you.
In response to the posted question: It is normal for some animals to have reactions to vaccinations. As long as your cat is still eating and using the litter box, then I wouldn't worry too much. If she stops doing either of those things or has excessive swelling at the vaccination site, then it wouldn't hurt to taker her to the vet. Of course, you can never be too careful. If you're that concerned you can take her back to the vet for a follow up visit.

Your cat will be fine, she is just having a small reaction to the meds that the vet has given her. In a day or so she should be back to her old self. And as for the waking you all up for breakfast, she is probablly still mad at you for taking her to the vet in the first place. I know when I took my animals in they were pissed off at me for about a week. They would not come to me at all.

Totally normal, don't worry about it unless it persists for more than a day, she stops eating, or is otherwise visibly not well. Our male was like that after his last set of shots. After about a day, he was feeling much better.
It's just like when kids get their shots; they get a little feverish, achey, grouchy, and tired. Just let kitty sleep it off:)

this is normal just as when babies get their vaccinations they are very sleepy give it 48hrs and if you dont notice an improvement then you should call the vet, but im sure that she will be fully recovered
