It is safe to give cats benadryl when you have the proper dosing. Consult your veterinarian to find out how many mg per pound you should be giving before hand. Also, ask if there are any possible side effects or interactions if your pet is currently on medacation. Benadryl is often used by veterinarians as a sedative as well as an antihistamine, but there are other options.
