NO! Especially if it contains tylenol. Take the cat to the vet. Geez.

No, no, no, and no. Never give an animal medicine intended for humans unless otherwise instructed to by your vet.
If your cat has a simple cold, it should pass on its own. If it doesn't, a trip to the vet is a necessity. He/she could have an infection or allergies.

We are very used to "doctoring" ourselves with over the counter medications when we have a cold. Research has shown that using these medications even prolongs our misery.
Cats have their own doctors and should prescribe anything you give to your cat. One tylenol can destroy a cat's liver in 24 hours.
Cats don't need to be treated for these transient flu problems. Only when their breathing is compromised or they stop eating. Then you need to let the vet take over their care.

No, there little bodies can't handle what a human can. If she has a cold, it would require a completely different kind of medication to cure it. Humans and animals are made up differently. What would work on a cat would not work on us and visa versa. Good luck.

no, if the kittens are sick they need to go to the vet to see if they really have a cold, some illness look like colds but are worse and it's hard to figure out a proper dosage if you were able to, it depends on the age.even for animal medicine along with their weight.

You should never self-medicate a pet unless you know what you are doing. The animal should be taken to a vet. Cats can go into liver failure and die if given human meds.

NO Aspirine!!! Aspirine is POISON to cats! One half of a capsule of PLAIN Benedryl is ok for allergies. Ask your vet about other remedies.

it's probably an upper respiratory infection
and tylenol will not work
if you can't afford to take care of them when they are sick you don't need to own a pet
