My cat is lethargic and not eating after vet shots. Is this normal?

Question

I took my cat to the vet yesterday and she revived two shots, rabies and leukemia. Today she hasn't eaten or wanted to drink anything. She's been sitting in the same spot all day. Is this normal?

No, this isn't normal behavior. While you can see a decrease in appetite and some lethargy, it's an unusual reaction to have a cat refusing to eat and drink, as well as not want to move. I would try to tempt her to eat by offering her some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) or soaking her food in tuna juice. If she still refuses to eat, then I would have her seen by a vet.
