I haven't tried to pill him yet - I've never pilled him before . . . wish me luck!
BTW, forgot to mention that he was a HOLY TERROR this morning, me trying to get him into the carrier by myself and then at the vet's office . . . he HATES them!!! LOL
Hope the food and preds work for Brodie!

Just in case you've not seen it before and he's really bad at being pilled, here's a link for Pill Pockets:

Also, do you have a top load carrier? The top loads have a wider opening and some cats find them a little less intimidating, especially as you can put them in feet first (instead of shoving them in head first.) Of course, he'll still know he's going to the vet.

Good luck and let us know how he's doing!
