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.
