No no no, Cats can't handle tylenol! They don't do pain medicine well unless it is from the vet. How is he hurt? Get back on and explain, I'll try to help.

I am not a vet nor a vet tech.
The answer is NO once, NO twice, NO three times. Acetemenofen and other human pain relievers can damage a cat's liver irreparably.
Vet techs will certainly have good answers about how you might help him get through the night.

if your dogs is having the occasional case of constipation or diarrhea, between the flaws that would help is canned pumpkin. definite canned pumpkin in its pureed sort (no longer pumpkin pie filling) is an marvelous stool softener which makes it a solid organic scientific look after constipation. It generally helps with disillusioned abdomen or indigestion for the two cats and canines. that's amazingly wealthy in fibre and including basically one or 2 teaspoonfuls on your puppy's nutrition generally gets the gadget moving top away. canines will often times decide directly to consume it at as quickly as and that's positive too. it would be observed that the two diarrhea and constipation can the two be very intense and require prompt veterinary care reckoning on the reason. in spite of the reason, diarrhea or constipation lasting greater advantageous than 24-36 hours demands vet care.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Cats cannot have tylenol, ibuprofen or asprin!!!!! All can cause serious problems and death in cats!
Confine your cat to a small room with access to food water and litter box until you can see your vet.
Addition:
Is there a reason you cannot contact an emergency hospital?
If the cat is as bad as he sounds, I wouldn't wait till morning.

My daughter-in law is a vet tech,and she said if u have a Carrier put some soft towels in it and put the cat in there and let it get comfortable and take it to the vet tomorrow

No you can not. the scrap maybe due to being hit by a car and the cat has serious internal injuries. keep your cat quiet and warm and get to the vets ASAP!

no do not give your kitty tylenol or aspirin or any human pain medication, it is very bad for the little kitty. if you think that it is serious enough take it to an emergency vet. if not then keep it warm and try to see if he will eat or drink.

Try to get him to eat and drink, even if you have to water down some of his tinned food or give him baby food in a syringe or a turkey baster.
If you can't get him to eat that, mix an egg yolk, 1/2 cup of lactose free (petmilk if you have it if not lactose free human milk is fine) and a teaspoon of glucose.
Everytime you walk past him, give him 4mls of water.
