No. Never give cats any human meds. Their systems are different from ours and they are much smaller. At the least you could overdose them. See the vet for cat pain medicine.

NO! very few drugs are safe for animals, tylenol is NOT one of them. below is a link for a wonderful site listing safe and not safe human medications and dosages. unfortunately, though buffered aspirin is listed as safe for dogs, it is not recommended for cats. try calling a vet or three and asking if you can give a small amount of baby aspirin. some vets wont tell you this sort of thing over the phone, try a few til you get an answer. good luck!

Tylenol is poisonous to cats, as has been pointed out above.
You can give a full-grown cat a little bit of aspirin---20 mg, or about 1/15 of a regular sized tablet of aspirin.

No- consult a vet, cats are very sensitive to human medications. Dogs can take some human meds, but cats never should. A vet can give you pain killers approved for a cat.

of course not! thats dangerous!!! get the cat some pain relief medication that is made for cats. tylenol is far too strong for a cat.

my answer is no because cats or other animals can be weak to tylenol which only humans are supposed to eat.if you go to the vet's then the vet will give your cat proper medicine for pets only :)

No. cats cannot take medicine for humans. It can be deadly destroying it's organs. A cats system is very sensitive.
Dogs can take some human medicines but not many. Motrin will destroy a dogs liver and kidneys.

I wouldn't use Tylenol. I'd use a half tablet of children's baby aspirin if your cat has arthritis. Check with a vet to be sure.
