You should call your veterinarian and ask whether he recommends some pain medication for your cat or whether he wants to see him for a recheck. Sometimes cats can get painful especially at the injection site for a few days. He may not let you touch him because he may be angry at you for taking him to the vet....sometimes that happens too. Let him come to you. Pet him lightly when you feed him.
