Cats have a decreased ability to metabolize acetaminophen in their liver, making them much more susceptible to poisoning than most other species. Even though your cat may not show any symptoms yet, its liver may have been damaged. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY You need to take your cat to a veterinarian now.
