what home prescriptions painkillers can i give my 6 year old cat short term

None - always ask a vet for any advice and get medications that your cat needs from the vet. Many human medicines can kill a cat.

u wanna kill ur cat??? if not no need playing doctor do little. normal pain kilers are toxic for cats. let the vet handle the prob.

when u have a pet u should take care of it like ur own child.i bet u wud nt take the risk of ''trying ' out a painkiller on ur child???
sorry if im rude.. im just worried wat if u gave pain killers 2 the cat in stead of asking 1st??

There are no pain relievers that are intended for human use that are safe for cats. Ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin/Nuprin/ Medipren), Acetomenaphin (Tylenol/Panadol) and Aspirin are all highly toxic to cats. The only pain relievers that should be considered safe are those that are prescribed by your veterinarian.

you really shouldnt give a cat human medicines. i think even a small amount of tylenol can kill a cat.

none. go to the vet or you will just make your cat sicker.
