The medication typically used for euthanasia in cats is pentobarbital or a similar drug. This medication can instantly stop the heart and brain from functioning, thus achieving the purpose of euthanasia.

Please note that euthanasia is a complex and sensitive topic. If you are considering euthanizing your cat, you should consult a professional veterinarian and ensure that the procedure is legal and ethical. However, for animals that are critically ill with no cure or hope of recovery, euthanasia may be an option to alleviate their suffering.
