Ok, this video does not flatter me at all, so ignore my face (thats cut off) and just watch the boys
Basically, you'll see I hold the boys on their backs (Flutter gets belly down on the table since she has her "thing" about laps) basically, put them where you have most control over them (laps vs. table, etc). Some people have to put the cat in a pillow case - which is what we have to do with Allen for wet meds. I scruff the boys with my left hand while holding the pill between the index finger and thumb of the right hand. I use my pinkie and ring fingers to pry the jaw open.... some times its easy like you'll see in the video, others you actually have to work. If you have them scruffed, the amount of head movement is drastically cut down -- they are nearly locked into postion if you've got a good firm hold on them.
PS: If you can't view the video by clicking on it, right click the video and select the option to save it to your computer, then you can view it.
