Kynthia, yes, this isn't surprising, as she's probably still groggy and simply doesn't feel well. She's had major surgery, after all! Most vets recommend keeping a cat in a cage after surgery to limit movement and provide a sense of safety and comfort. If you can, give her a clean, comfortable, quiet space and a while to rest and recover before trying to give her the antibiotics.
