Three cats died after their owners used an anti-inflammatory cream used to treat arthritis. The Food and Drug Administration warns to keep drugs away from pets; a tiny bit can be toxic.
Important for spoonies with cats!
Creams with Flurbiprofen are fatal to cats.
Brands that use this chemical (Not a complete list):
Myoflex
Traumeel
Capzasin
If you have cats, check your pain relieving cream for this, and keep them from ingesting it, please!

Oh no! Boosting for all cat owners.
Here’s a more thorough article about this, which includes info about other types of pain relief cream + tips for keeping pets safe if you use pain relief cremes of any kind! And here’s another one that talks about other types of topical medications (hydrocortisone, antibiotic ointment, hormone cream, etc.).
I didn’t see a mention anywhere, but most NSAIDs are toxic enough to cats that I would also be very careful with topical Voltaren/diclofenac or ibuprofen. Which seem to be more common than flurbiprofen in the UK, that I know of.
