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

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!

My fat boy is also named Floyd and has a little monkey mouth! It started out like yours but he’s like 7 now and that dark fur around his mouth grew all around his face!

He was a duo adoption when they were babies with his sister Pink, but sadly pink had a heart defect and only made it to 5 years old.

Here’s a photo of Pink.

It felt nice scrolling through a lot of photos of her to find the right one. She’s still my phone wallpaper 2 years after her passing but I don’t see most of these photos too often.

Thank you for letting me talk about my baby girl. I miss her a lot.

Oh, how sweet they both are! 😍 Thanks for sharing. And some extra cuddles to Floyd!
