- I know Jen wasn't suggesting this, but in case the idea crosses anyone's mind,
- I'd like to repeat a warning that was posted here a few months back: don't
- ever give your cat Tylenol if it appears to be in pain. Acetominophen is very
- toxic to cats. There was a story posted about someone giving a cat half a
- Tylenol; an hour later it was dead.
-
- Always check with your vet before giving your cat any medication, especially
- something intended for people.
