Those drugs (NSAIDS) are not really recommended for cats. If you do give it, I suggest it only be ONE dose. You are better off getting an NSAID made for cats from your vet called Onsior. Cats are extremely sensitive to these medications. You need to tell us what dose of these drugs you have an if they are pills or liquid, otherwise we can't help you. It would also be nice to know why you want to give it. You can either post again or opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.
