Yes, but one must be careful to select an anti-inflammatory that will not injure the cat. In particular, aspirin and ibuprofen, which are anti-inflammatories for humans, will kill a cat, because cats have a metabolic pathway that causes these drugs to release cyanide. The usual anti-inflammatory used for cats is prednisone, though there are reports of better results from Thalidomide -- though of course this should never be used on pregnant queens.
