Acetaminophen & Cats

All should be aware of the toxicity of acetaminophen in cats:
A quick Google search revealed that apparently Acetaminophen is very toxic
to cats:

"Acetaminaphen, the main ingredient of Tylenol and several other non-aspirin
pain relievers. It possesses both analgesic and antipyretic effects. The
feline toxic dosage is 50-100 mg/kg. One regular-strength tablet (325 mg)
may be toxic to cats, and a second could be lethal. One "extra strength"
(500 mg) tablet can result in toxicosis."
I just learned this the hard way.

You ****ing idiot. One human dose of *anything* will kill a cat. Even if
the stuff was safe for cats, a human dose on a cat would be like a human
taking twenty doses. Have you ever had to take 20 tablets lately? Or do
you have a 160lb kittycat? And why the hell would you assume that what is
safe for humans is safe for cats?

This has *got* to be a troll. Nobody is that stupid.
