Cat Pillin'

I know this sounds mean, but it's just the way it is.
The easiest way to pill a cat - and in my opinion the best - is just to leave them no choice. I've tried every trick in the book. Hiding them in treats works until they wise up to it, and that's IF the pill is that small. I was only able to do that with Nimbus' heart medicine, and then not always lol. I just get over them, wrap a leg around each side so that they have no way to go, open mouth, drop shooter into the back of the mouth, and bomb's away! The trick once you drop that pill down the throat is to hold the mouth shut for a moment or two so they don't get the chance to spit it up (and trust me, given the opportunity, they WILL spit it up). I know it sounds mean, but it's saved me endless money on wasted pills, nevermind the saved time of not having to deal with a squirmy cat. It's the same trick I use on all three cats, as all 3 are squirmy as hell. I've used it for many years now, as I've learned what works and what doesn't. Never once have I hurt or offended a cat. It usually happens so quick, they're not sure what happened. And the shooter keeps your finger from getting bit! Yes, Jadzia runs off for a second, but she always does anyway. She, Miss Finnicky Pickyarse Spooky Queen, always comes right back. Just trust me with it. If they HAVE to have the pill, it's the only way to go. Once they realize you're making them feel better, it'll get easier. Just look at Nimbus. He will let me do anything to him now just about because he knows everything I do keeps him feeling groovy. Now if only Curzon would just let me brush him!!!! Now THAT is a riddle for me that I have yet to figure out!
