Since I don't have any one to help me, I've been using the klaw control bag from Drs. Fosters & Smith so that my cats can't run away when I trim their nails. It can also be used when you medicate them too. With Sky, Storm, and Starr I also have to use a home made cat muzzle because they'll bite me if I don't.

I use the chicken flavored pill pockets which I cut up into 4 pieces and I roll them up into little balls. I then use one little ball and wrap the pill in it. Storm, Sky, and Sunny think that they're getting daily treats and look forward to getting their herbal pills each day. With Starr I'm able to crush his pred up into some baby food and he never knows it's in there. I've also used the pill syringe before but it's still a pain in the butt to use. Good luck.
