I am in the midst of giving pills to 13 feral, semi-feral and mostly tame cats. I asked the advice of a former vet tech and she said she uses a very small amount of chicken broth to dissolve the crushed pill.

My cats said "Nope!'

I bought a pill crusher and have tried: teaspoon of tuna & juice (good results)
teaspoon of mashed Mackeral (poor)
gravy from pouch (best results)
Chicken broth (forget about it)
I did manage to scruff one of the tamer ones. I stuck the pill popper in his mouth and he swallowed without realizing what I was up to.

I bought some cheez whiz to try tonight.
