Question
Is it bad if your cat eats a bunch of moxacillin pills?  Is there something you can do?  Will they be effected?

Answer
Since cats don't usually eat things like this you need to be really sure that she ate it. Cats are not like dogs where they scarf down something for fun. Amoxicillin is not a good tasting substance so no normal cat would eat anything like that.

If you are sure the cat ate them you need to call an emergency vet and tell them how many pills she ate (you didn't tell me) and ask them what you should do. They may or may not tell you to induce vomiting.

I am not in a position to do that.
Call an emergency vet right away.
