Reply:Yesterday I had to give the cat a pill. I carefully cut the tablet into 4 little pieces and wrapped each one in a little ball of catfood. Crafty, see? A human could outwit a dumb animal for sure..........


Held the cat, opened her mouth and popped the package to the back of her throat.


Held her mouth shut and stroked her while she swallowed, but when I let her go, she spat out the part-pill, having eaten the meat.


Darling pussycat. This happened three times.

Reply:Oh that's hilarious. I have 2 cats and it's so true! It's a pain giving them a pill. If I can, I just crush it and put it in their food. They usually eat it.

Reply::D that is so true lol but with one of my cats we just put it on the floor with biscuits and she it eats it, others we go through pretty much wat u sed lol
Reply:Ha Ha!!!!! You made me spit out my wine, but it was worth it! Thanks!
Reply:Hey, I have cats, and what you say is pretty much true. While at the vets, the cat took the pill fine.. at home, another story,. spitting it out, having to have help holding the cat., etc.,. But it was worth it, the cat got better and that was my goal..


As for my dog, I had to use some kind of meat to get it to swallow the pill, other wise she would spit it out.


Good stuff... nice to see some decent stuff..
