AspirinThe Short Answer:

The short answer to your question is, No, you should not give any aspirin to your cat.  Cats cannot break down the aspirin as quickly as humans, and so it can accumulate in the cat causing an overdose.

Blurred Cat FaceIf You Give:

If your vet has told you to give some aspirin to your cat then you should give it to your cat as directed by the vet.  Make sure you give the correct amount, as too much can cause an overdose.  You should also strictly obey the timeline for each dose.  Since cats break it down slowly, giving another dose too soon can cause your cat to have an overdose.
