Cats can be prescribed penicillin-class antibiotics and these drugs are commonly used for certain types of infections in cats. However, the dose varies widely depending upon the size of the cat, the type of infection being treated, the location of the infection being treated, the formulation of the penicillin and the overall health status of the cat.
You would need to have your cat examined by a veterinarian and the penicillin prescribed by him/her to learn the exact dosage.

Generally this antibiotic is not recommended for cats.
Unless you have years of experience treating farm animals you should always Consult a Licensed Veterinarian before administering drugs to animals.
Remember that administering drugs to farm animals is different than administering drugs to a small animal like a dog or cat etc. The concentration of the medication for large animals is much greater than for small animals like dogs and cats and could kill a small animal.

How much penicillin should you give your cat for an eye infection?
You don't want to give your cat penicillin. If the cat has a puncture wound, it will become or already has become an abscess. That is where the wound does not heal properly from the inside out and closes over with the infection trapped inside. Take your cat into a Veterinarian to have it checked out. Normally they will clean out the abscess and put a penrose drain in it so it can continue to drain out the infection & then heal properly from the inside to the outside. The Vet will also put the cat on antibiotics, the proper ones for that type of infection.
