Hi Sammsmurf, welcome aboard. Aaah the joys of pilling a catI gave up after several attempts, finding them spat out behind the couch or hidden under a rug etc. I tried hiding them in a piece of cheese - no go. The cheese was eaten, the pill discarded in some dark corner. I tried crushing to a fine powder and mixing in with the wet food - no go. The whole meal was disdainfully foregone with a look of starved martyrdom. I tried the pill catapult/syringe thing that Barbara mentioned, I didn't even get close (not close to the pill going down, I meant close to the cat...) When a liquid or cream form of the med was available, I opted for that and squirted it down the throat (hisssss, spittt, droooool) and ended up licking it off my own lips. Tried smearing it on the paw for licking off - no go, it got smeared on the couch or carpet. Finally, one day, I found some clear instructions somewhere, and I said,"That's it, I'm putting this pill down your throat and that's final". I followed the instructions, and it worked. I've tried to type them out in an easy to follow (I hope) format and attach them for you herewith. The trick is to be very clear and confident and pass that on to the cat. They pick up on trepidation real fast! Good luck and let us know how you go
