- NEVER give your pet any medication without first consulting your vet. When I find out on occasion what medication I am to give my pets then I may go to my local pharmacy (cheaper) and get the medication by weight of my dog. Until the vet tells me what my pet needs, I never self medicate them.
- No, I would check with the vet first! It may be fine for us to take medications to relieve pain but not for cats. The safest thing to do to make a cat in pain feel better is to get medication from the vet.
- You should NEVER give a cat any kind of NSAID (ibuprofen, asprin, tylenol). Very small doses of these can be fatal to a cat. A cat's body does not have the capability to metabolize these well.
- A cat cannot tolerate many things that are given to dogs. If your cat is in pain, take it to the Vet.
No. You should never give a cat human medication as this could easily overdose and kill the cat. Even giving a cat a tiny amount of painkiller could seriously harm the cat.

∙ 13y agoNo, it is highly advisable to never give a cat human medication. Human medicine is specially tailored for humans. Cats, being much much smaller, will overdose very easily on human pills, even if they are given a tiny amount. If you believe your cat is in pain, take it to the vet so they can prescribe medication that is safe for your cat.
