Don't give your cat anything without talking to a vey first....some ppl medicine is made differently than animal medicine, even if it has the same name. The ppl medicine may contain something that could be toxic to your cat.

Do not give your cat human antibiotics. It dangerous because it is not for their species as well as antibiotics are not made for them to take. Your cat could get very sick or die from choking or taking the medicine incorrectly. Think about it... if you were sick would you take cat antibiotics made for felines. I would go to a vet and not try to do anything yourself. I'm not judging or attacking, and I'm sorry if this seems in any way rude. I love cast and cat lovers! : )

most definitely not no.
human medication was invented for humans. giving it to a at no matter how small a bit you give it, can poison the cat,or worse kill it.
a cat needs cat medicine.
