How to give the cat a pill.
1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.
3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.
4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm, holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.
5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse in from the garden.
6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.
7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail. Get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.
8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw
9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans and drink one beer to take taste away. Apply band-aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.
10. Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Open another beer. Place cat in cupboard, and close door onto neck, to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.
11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Drink beer. Fetch bottle of scotch. Pour shot, drink. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back another shot. Throw tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.
12. Call fire department to retrieve the * cat from the top of the tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil wrap.
13. Using heavy-duty pruning gloves from shed, tie the little *&#%^'s front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of filet steak. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour two pints of water down throat to wash pill down.
14. Consume remainder of scotch. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room. Sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.
15. Arrange for ASPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.
Sincerely, the dog.

Jeff, that was funny.LOL! I'm not much of a cat person so..... kat don't want pill.....Kat doesn't get pill! My mom Showed and bred Siamies(SP?) back in the late 60's early 70's......I was stuck as a small boy of 5-6years old at cat shows, cleaning cages and getting cut up by claws trying to take cats to the judges!

Im surprised that dogs havent been mentioned in this conversation yet, 2 of mine take theres fine because theyll eat anything. Its the chubby one that is to dainty when she eats. Weve tried everything from forcing it to hiding it in cheese sticks, to putting in the food to covering it in peanut butter. The only one that worked was the peanut butter one because it got stuck to the roof of her mouth. Somehow she managed to eat the food and not eat the pill !
Had a nice crab dinner for Mothers Day. School tommorow. Have a good one folks.

One of the funniest things I ever saw was a Doberman Pincher with a caramel candy stuck to the roof of it's mouth. He eventually got it unstuck and swallowed it along with the pill concealed within.

We now have these two ankle biters. One will swallow the pill no problem but the other one you have to massage her throat and then still keep an eye on her because she has been know to spit out the pill even after all of the work my wife goes thru to give them to her. Glendia does this twice a day. I don't give em anything but a hard time. The pill swallower, I can not even get her to go out side for me. I say out side and she hides under the bed. So today she did not get out side until we got home after 8:30PM and that is from 10AM this morning.

Ours get's two pills every day. I usually cut a slit in a small cube of meat and down it goes. There are times when she spits the pill out (full of slobber) and swallows the meat then I just point at the pill she spit out and she swallows it on her own. The shepherd we had before this one liked the pills even without any covering, this one is spoiled rotten.

Good morning. It's 69 and mostly cloudy. It will remain as mostly cloudy as the high gets up to 85.
Nothing special going on today with the exception that I have to change the oil filter on the car. It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it! I don't know how I did it but I skinned one of the knuckles on my right hand yesterday. One of the hazards of having no feeling in the fingers.
