Quite frankly, motor oil isn't good for anyone or anything. It's best to keep your cat out of it. It's not like it will kill it right away, but he will lick himself, and thus, the motor oil will go in his body. You can imagine that that won't have a good effect.

What kind of oil for arctic cat 650 prowler?

Arctic Cat recommends 10W/40 or 5W/30 for the 650, 700, and 1000 Prowler. Any "Wet Clutch Compatible" Motorcycle or ATV motor oil in this range will work. Automotive motor oils contain friction modifiers that can cause wear and heat to the clutch assembly. Arctic Cat recomends their 0W-40 synthetic oil. But you can use most any motorcycle/atv grade oil either synthetic or standard with around the same weight, 10w-40 is pretty common and cheaper then the cat oil.
