Flurbiprofen, brand name Ansaid (tablets)

That must have been devastating to those cat owners.

Thanks for posting this! My neighbor gave me some cream to try because my wrist was hurting. I just dug up the tube and it contains an NSAID. Luckily I only tried it once and I wasn't at home at the time. My male cat is a serious hand and arm licker.

I actually think ibuprofen in pill form is more effective for me. Now I have to call my neighbor because she has a cat too.

Thank you for the reminder. DH and I try to be ever vigilant - we have 22 little ones watching our every move. If paper towels ever become deadly - it's over for us!! There is absolutely NOTHING in this house that they do not notice - I promise you!!!

Yes, so many people don't realize this! I agree the pill form works much better anyway.
