Easiest way of all.
Leave the pill somewhere the cat´s not supposed to go,leave the house & when you come back, a pound to a penny the pill will be gone & you have a cat looking smug because he´s got away with pinching something.
Psychology!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

My OH is watching the Laydeeez Football while I am sitting here on the lappy, laughing like a drain.

Give our dog a pill?

Push it into a small chunk of cheese. The dozy bitch thinks she is a mouse. Lol.

My big boy, a fluffy persian took his tablets like a gud un. The female, though so lovable in every other way turned into the cat from hell, I have seen the above before and it is her all over. We have a bird now. Still wish we could have another cat though.

My last two lovlies were so easy to give tablets to - they both loved prawns and would be climbing up my legs to get to the prawns LOL

Crush tablet between 2 spoons, dip a prawn into the powdered tablet, feed to cat, no problem!

Except for one occasion when my most laid back cat that ever lived decided that she wasn't going to take them, prawns or no prawns! After oh and I were both left dripping with blood I rang the vet and said, "you're going to have to give her some other tablets, she won't take these at all".

"Of course she will" comes his reply. So I take her down to the surgery and said, "okay, you give it to her". One badly bitten finger later, he agreed to change her tablets! LOL

I always give my cat his pill by sitting him on my left and going through the procedure. By the end of a course of treatment I look like one of those cheerleaders who carry pom-poms except the pom-poms are made up of shreds of skin.
