I know, I know. You just want to help the little weirdo who just tried to fight a bush. But human ointments can also contain pain relievers like pramoxine or lidocaine. Cats freak out with those. They can sedate them, make them sick, or even cause seizures in high doses. Not exactly the “calming spa treatment” you were going for.
Plus, cats lick everything. They have sandpaper tongues and zero self-control. If they lick off a human antibiotic, they get a belly full of chemicals. That can lead to drooling, vomiting, or a very expensive case of pancreatitis. Trust me, you don’t want to explain that to your bank account.
