Other over-the-counter NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (Advil®, Nuprin®, Motrin®) or naproxen (Aleve®) should never be given to cats. Ibuprofen has a narrow margin of safety in dogs, and cats, with their inability to metabolize these drugs, are thought to be twice as sensitive as dogs to ibuprofen’s toxic effects. “Ibuprofen and naproxen are especially dangerous, and may be fatal”, says Dr. Stone.

I cannot finish without at least mentioning the following. Plain and simple – never, ever, ever use it in a cat BECAUSE THEY ARE USUALLY FATAL:
- Tylenol (acetaminophen).
- Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin etc.) or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, (NSAIDS).
