Who ever decided cats can be medicated with pills never owned a cat, I am sure. There cannot be such a thing as a cat pill - it should be named again.

There has always been cats in our family, and Iīve been trying to give pills to each of them.

Project Cat Pill - The Beginning Stages
1. Approach the unsuspecting cat. Try to do this as casually as possible, because cats have a sixth sense when it comes to giving pills to them. Cats believe pills and cats cannot co-exist in the same universe.
2. Grab the cat where ever you can when it tries to scoot for safety. Lift it up and pretend you only wanted to hold it in your lap for a while. When it almost believes this, sit down and place it in the crook of your left arm. Someone said you should hold it like a baby, but anyone who owns a cat knows this cannot be done. Firm but kind is the way. 3. Do your best to place your right forefinger and thumb on either side of your felineīs mouth. Gentry apply pressure while holding the pill in your right palm with the help of the rest of the fingers. Donīt drop the pill. If you do, it is twice as hard to catch the cat afterwards, because now it knows what you are up to. 4. When the cat opens its mouth, do your very best to drop the pill into its mouth. Allow the cat to close its mouth and swallow. Let go of the cat. Pay attention to the general direction the cat disappears to.

6. Pick the soggy pill from your carpet and throw it away. Take a new pill from the packet and retrieve cat from bedroom (most likely under the bed). Cradle cat in your left arm, this time hold tightly to its rear paws with your left hand.
