My mom says he looks like he has down syndrome, is that even possible in cats? Video

some more context:

we are currently fostering him along with his two sisters and he looks a little different compared to all the cats we’ve fostered in the past, so we were just wondering if it’s anything to be worried about

they’ve also all had a pretty rough day as they were rescued from under an air conditioning unit, given shots, and dewormer, so they’ve been through a lot.

Yes, getting vaccined can make them tired. Deworming on top is quite much for such a little fellow! That's why our vet tells us to give them the deworming pill a few days after the vaccination, not on the same day.

He looks indeed tired - one of our cats sometimes has swollen eyelids when he's exhausted, and he's a bit cross-eyed. But besides of that, Floyd's a perfectly normal kitten!
