... I'm going to the vet to get a syringe to make sure that pill and baby food gets down there.

Jeeesh! I'm about ready to ship him off to Phred to teach Basil how to take these darn things!!
Hmmmm... Basil prolly won't like the crushed pill + baby food dose, either!

Least painful (for MeowMee & Patient) is probably the Pill Shooter - *shoots* the whole pill (not crushed nor mixed with anything) FAR enough down the throat that da Kat cannot spit or *tongue* it back out - it's Down da Hatch.

If you GO to the Vet - ask if they have a Pill Shooter to show/sell you. (But don't pay too much!) You don't need the *fancee* Chrome Edition that the Vet uses and has to autoclave after each use. Most of the pet stores sell the plastic ones for $2-3. They might *look* a lil BIG (about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in diameter) - but they DO work for a cat! (Just ask Boots!)

If there's *doubt* about it staying *down* - hang onto the Patient after the pill and offer a *I-can't-pass-THIS-up* treat ~ Gobblin the Treat will make sure the pill gets pushed ALL the way down in front of the treat! (Boots NEVER passes up a Temptations Treat!)
