Cats can take antibiotics. Antibiotics are very useful and universal drugs and there are antibiotics to cure almost any bacterial illness. If your cat is sick and you think it needs antibiotics, TAKE IT TO A VET. The dosages for humans and cats are very different, and the other things that are in the antibiotics made for humans may kill cats. Also, not every antibiotic is suitable to treat every condition. Some bacteria have built up resistance to certain antibiotics and need stronger ones. Only a vet can diagnose and treat your cat or prescribe antibiotics if needed. Cats can safely take antibiotics but only those designed for cats.
