No absolutely not- contains a form of aspirin toxic to cats and deadly to kittens.

Cats should not take human medicines, UNLESS your vet tells you to. Please call an emergency clinic and ask what they reccomend you do.

Oh heavens! Please don't try to diagnose and self-medicate your cat. Please see a vet if you think he is sick.

Thanks guys, I wasn't trying to diagnose, just wanted to see if that would help him clear up his upset tummy.

Did you buy over-the-counter de-wormer or take it to the vet? If you used OTC de-wormer, maybe you used too much for his/her weight and if so I can well imagine they have an upset tummy.

Please take him to a vet to be checked out. When cats are in pain they don't show it and it would be awful to know he/she was suffering.
