Cats have very sensitive systems and should not be given any medications intended for people or even dogs without veterinary approval.

Cats synthesize their own Vitamin C from glucose in their small intestine. Their immune systems are also not as dependent on it as a humans. Cats actually depend more on Vitamin A for immune system reasons. High doses of Vitamin C in a cats system can actually cause kidney problems and stones in the urinary tract.
