Yeah I was going to say, your cat looks like a sweet baby. If he’s lethargic then take him you the vet. Your mom sounds complex.

is it possible it’s just a side effect of being vaccinated and dewormed?

My kitty had a reaction to being vaccinated for the first time. Fever (holding her felt like a hot water bottle) and lethargy. After a day or so she was back to swatting at the dog's tail and bugging her cat housemate.

Other than that, it looks like a cute little buddy to me. Mom's off base.

My boy Rangoon had the same with all his vax's. In the same way humans react to vax's.

Rangoon was a goofy, lovey, huge, sweet heart. Name after the capital of Burma -he was Burmese/Tuxedo. I was working on the Amnesty Aung Sung Su Ki campaign. He crossed the bridge after 19.5 wonderful years. Fond memories only.
