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. -- D.
