That works for SOME cats. What I do is also give them a kiss on their little kitty lips while holding their jaw shut and stroking their neck in a downward direction; i.e., the direction in which I want them to swallow. That usually surprises them so much, they can do nothing BUT swallow and wonder what meowmie is doing to them. Of course they are also experts at stashing the pill in their cheeks or under the tongue and will spit it out the moment you release them - watch for this! Mishi did it to me this a.m., but I'm up to his wiley ways! Good luck!
