  1. No no n no no no no no no!!!  


  2. ABSOLUTELY NOT!  you will be putting your cat's life in danger

  3. NO WAY, a cats system is not designed to handle that type of medication, you could accidently over dose her, and not mean to, ask your vet for droncit that will take care of any worms she may have, and it is not expensive, only about 5 bucks

  4. I really advise you to go see your vet, get some proper dewormer and maybe discuss cat care with the vet as well. Just the size difference between the animals alone should be an indicator that you should not use horse medication, but even as someone else has already mentioned you should not even give your cat dog medication.

  5. Please DO NOT do this. This will probably kill your cat. Almost definitely! Only use cat wormer on cats, dog wormer on dogs and horse wormer on horses. I cannot begin to tell you how important this is. Please spend the few pennies it costs for dewormer.

  6. NO! Cats are HIGHLY sensitive! There are even some dog products that will kill a cat!

  7. Never give any animal a medication prescribed for another species. That would be like you taking an elephant tranquilizer; you wouldn't do that would you? Buy your cat the appropriate medication.  

  8. You are joking right?  You're pulling my leg.  You do realize a horse is a different animal, and weighs a heck of a lot more than a cat?  Unless you are a vet, and can give the exact dose your cat requires - you will most likely give the wrong dose and you will kill the cat.  In some states, it would be considered cruelty to an animal and you could be charged with this if he does die.  Only a licensed vet can dose properly, please spend the money and do this the right way.
