  Never, EVER give a cat or dog ANY human medications.  Several over the counter medications for human use to control pain or fever contain compounds that are metabolized differently in animals bodies which may cause serious damage or even death.  Cats are ESPECIALLY sensitive to certain medications.  What medicine did you give the cat?  Your actions may have done significantly more harm than good.
