Absolutely not. Human pain relievers, particularly NSAIDs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen (Tylenol), are highly toxic to cats and can cause severe kidney failure, liver damage, or even death, even in small doses. Never administer any human medication to your pet without specific veterinary instructions. If your cat is limping, it indicates pain or injury and requires a veterinary examination to determine the cause and appropriate safe treatment. This is not an emergency if the cat is otherwise well, but urgent vet consultation is needed. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
