Not most of the time--check with your veterinarian. Cats are extremely sensitive to medications and not many of them cross over between the two types of animals. In addition, dosage may vary quite a bit.

What to do if a cat encounter with Frontline for dogs?

Frontline for Dogs is not dangerous to cats (or Frontline for Cats to dogs). They are simply different doses of the same active ingredients (because of the species differences). Frontline for Dogs will still work on cats - but not at the same efficiency (towards the end of the month) as Frontline for Cats. Therefore you should always use the correct product for the species.

Can cats take the same thyroid medication as humans?

There are a couple of medications used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in humans that can also be used in cats, but the dosages would be very different and trying to just split a pill yourself would be dangerous and could kill your cat. Cats have very sensitive systems, more so than dogs, and you should never use a human medication on any animal, but especially on a sensitive animal like a cat, without being told to do so by a veterinarian.
