I'm a vet, DO NOT give these drugs to your cat, we have people bringing their animals in quite often after having given human nsaids (lot of the time doctors!), a lot of times especially with cats they don't make it, there are plenty of nsaids designed for pets you can use, they are prescription only so only available from vets, they will be more expensive but they are much safer. On other questions people have complained about vet bills, if there was no nhs in the uk believe me people would think we were very very cheap.

Paracetamol Cats

Do NOT give Tylenol to a cat. If your mother cat has had a single off day, I'd wait and see how she does the next day, but if this is a trend of weakness and non-responsiveness, I'd get her to a vet ASAP. You will need to be prepared to bottle-feed the kittens and bathe them to stimulate eating and defecating. (Of course, a good breeder has made these preparations in advance, just in case!) If mother cat does need treatment, she may not be able to care for the kittens while she is on medicine, etc.

Never. These are toxic to cats esp. ibuprofen. What vets use are The Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Agents (NSAIDs) but ask your vet which kind you should administer.

No! Call your cats vet! I was told to NEVER give my cat ibuprofen or Tylenol! My Vet said to give her 1/2 of a baby aspirin.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Those human medications can damage a cat's liver fatally with just a dose!

Please read this link. It is very dangerous and will kill the cat. There are also many more links that can be found on google about that.
Consult a vet before you ever give anything to an animal.

Never give anything to your cat that is not prescribed by your vet! You can kill him!
