Remember taking one of our cats to the vets and he gave him a pill and pushed it in with a pen and shut his mouth.....there you are he said. Let go and the cat promptly spat it out.... :-D |

I despaired of getting a pill into my cat, like above, she fought every inch of the way. Now , we just carefully conceal it in a small piece of cheese, and it works like a charm. Mind you the pills are very small! |

On the subject of treatment of cats. The best way to spray a cat wth flea spray is to hold up by the scruff....can't scratch or get away. |

I've got 3 cats, have to seperate them to put flea stuff on the back of the neck, as once one is done, the others smell it and scarper!! |

Never had cats (I am allergic to their fur) but easiest way to give pills to all of our dogs was in a soft centre chocolate. If chocolate no available, a small piece of bread, plastered with butter - slides down a treat. |

Read this epistle out to cat owning friend - she could relate to it. However she did mention a tip she was given about giving a siamese cat a pill. Hold cat in arms,put pill in cat's mouth and quickly turn cat upside down, it will swallow. She swore it worked - she had a siamese for 10-12 years, rescue moggies since, I asked if it worked with them - didn't know - they never needed pills. |
