If you are asking about the professors in the Harry Potter books and movies, it is Professor McGonagall, the Transfiguration teacher. She transforms into a tabby cat with markings around her eyes that are similar to her spectacles.
A common formula to estimate cat years is to count the first two years as 24 human years, and then add 4 human years for each additional cat year. So, when the cat turns 17 in human years, he would be approximately 84 in cat years.
she is just plain AWESOME
At 8 human years, your cat would be approximately 48 in cat years using the common guideline that each human year is roughly equivalent to 6 cat years.
No. There are similar words, for instance one particular fur pattern used to be called a "jellicle cat", a term which appears in Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and in the musical Cats which was loosely based on it, but Professor McGonagall was not, as far as we know, named after a specific cat variety.
It is certainly not safe to give any medication to a cat without vet approval. Even in humans, an excess of Tylenol will cause fatal liver failure; and a cat is much smaller than a human and so the lethal dose would be much smaller even if the cat's metabolism is the same as a human's. As it turns out, a cat has a metabolic pathway that turns aspirin into cyanide; I don't know whether it has the same effect on acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol). Given the known side effects of the two anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed for cats (Prednisolone and Thalidomide), one would think that if Tylenol was at all possible to give to cats without harming them, vets would be using it.
Professor McGonagall is the transfiguration professor at Hogwarts and can turn into a cat. She doesn't follow Harry around though, the cat that does that is Filch the caretakers cat Mrs Norris, who is not a transfigured human.
Very good question, but this is a book-series for children, so it is never discussed in any of the books.
