cant believe you're asking this..take it to the vet..you wouldn't leave your child or your parent sick so treat your pet as a member of your family and get it checked out!

Give the vet a call back.
Some kittens have allergic reactions to their vaccines, and will feel bad and run a mild fever.
What becomes a problem is when they don't eat and drink enough, which makes them dehydrated. Often the vet will give a little fluids, and sometimes something to stop the allergic reaction, depending on how bad it is.
Home care- get chicken or turkey baby food, and low sodium chicken broth. Warm them and see if you can get your kitten to eat and drink them. Generally, once you get them eating a drinking well (let the kitten eat allot) it helps them get through the reaction.
Now, now high is the fever? Higher than 102.5, call the vet. Higher than 103, see the vet, higher than 104, go to the vet right now! Higher than 105, use ice water to wet kitten paws and ears while driving to the vet to cool it down.
If your kitten is not getting better in 48 hours with this vaccine reaction, I'd really recommend taking it back to the vet. There are so many ways to help it that you can't do at home.

Kittens do naturally sleep alot (like human babies), and their normal temp is around 101 (not 98.7 like humans) but if you really believe the poor animal is feeling poorly, take it to the vet- and let it get checked out thoroughly.

just like human babies kittens react differently to shots. Some sleep alot, some cry in pain, some have a temp but this does usually only last a few days. If your at all worrid which i think you must be to post this question please take it to the vet.

The others are right. It sounds like that cat is having a bad reaction to the shot. Take it to your vet as soon as possible.

Cats rarely suffer for severe forms of genetic neuropathy such a becoming aggressive and disoriented or " going mad". Was he neutered or intact? Often times un-neutered male cats will have a very strong desire to roam their outdoor "territory" and protect it from other cats, dogs, humans, and perhaps even cars. This may explain his behavior. If he was neutered, it could simply be his personality to be more territorial. As far as him attacking people who stroked him, cats are very sensitive and will often tell you when they don't like being touched a certain way or at all. Especially if you found that he did it most often when by the window. He probably wasn't in the mood to be affectionate and told you so with his mouth and claws. Cats also don't always like to be touched for prolonged periods of time, especially if you are doing long strokes of his back, this is sometimes referred to as "charging up a cat" because at some point they usually "snap" and attack your hand. The best way to be affectionate with a cat is to let them come to YOU for attention, and try to focus on area like the top of the head, the shoulders, and the cheeks, as these are the areas that other cats would groom in affection. Cats who is not properly exercised both physically and mentally can also sometimes be more prone to aggression as they are unhappy and bored. It's advised to provide a rich environment with lots of places for them to climb and perch, and scratch. This may have helped... And finally, to address the car, this is simply a risk of letting your cat go outside. Often times, cats love to sleep behind tires and under cars because they are dark and warm. A lot of cats end up dying due to people not checking underneath their cars before pulling out of a driveway. Cats who go outside also dash across streets a lot of the time and sometimes it's just bad timing if a car is on a collision course with it.

Call the vet immediately.
Make sure the kitten is not getting dehydrated...check for dark pink gums.
