There are a couple of medications used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in humans that can also be used in cats, but the dosages would be very different and trying to just split a pill yourself would be dangerous and could kill your cat. Cats have very sensitive systems, more so than dogs, and you should never use a human medication on any animal, but especially on a sensitive animal like a cat, without being told to do so by a veterinarian.

How is a cats digestive system the same as a humans and how is it different to a humans?

Both cats and humans have similar digestive system organs such as a stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. However, cats have a shorter digestive tract compared to humans, which is better suited for processing a diet high in protein. Also, cats rely on specific nutrients like taurine, which humans do not require in their diet.

Can cats spread chlamydia?

If the cat is your pet then very little. People are too 'germ crazy.' Cats are very good at grooming and if shots are kept up to date then the only thing you may get from your cat is allergies. One should always wash their hands or use Aloe/bacterial gel (easy on the hands) after handling a cat if they have been outside. Also your cats paws are in their own litter box and could pick up worms or bacteria so washing your hands is a must. If it's a neighbors cat I did pick up ring worm once when a child from my neighbor's cat. I only got one spot on the underside of my wrist and the doctor gave my mother medication for it. If they are feral cats (wild cats) then they can have all sorts of diseases and even possibly have rabies. Never corner or approach a wild cat. There are a number of disease that cats can get from other cats. Here is a list of the most common: * Upper respiratory infections * Rabies * Feline Leukemia * Feline Panleukemia * Feline immunodeficiency virus * Feline infectious peritonitis To find out more, check out the link in the related links section.


What do cats do when they just sit and stare?

I don't think anyone really knows why cats randomly stare at the wall or off into space. Cats have much better eye-sight than humans, so they may see something that we can't. (It's even said that cats are able to see spirits.)

Do thyroid medicine take away or cure symptoms?

Thyroid medication might not necessarily take away all of your thyroid symptoms. However, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists emphasizes in their SAME/SAME/SAME information campaign the importance of taking the same dose of the same thyroid medication at the same time of the day. This is because even the slightest variation can affect the overall effectiveness of thyroid medication. If you have any questions or concerns about your symptoms be sure to contact your doctor.
