Lut - thank you for making me smile this morning with your description of what happened when you tried to pill Snoopy. That may sound heartless but I'd just come from the vet with the news that yet another kitten has a cold (calici virus, really horrible) and it made me feel better to see that someone else is going through heck. Misery loves company!

Have you tried wrapping her burrito style? If your daughter can hold her in one arm because she is wrapped up, she can also squeeze against her jaws to open her mouth and you can push down on her lower jaw with one hand and throw the pill, or poke the pill, right to the back of her throat with the other. I have to do this on my own and when I hold the jaws open, I make sure to slide a small amount of the lip over the lower teeth so the cat is less inclined to bite and it seems to work. There is also scruffing and upending. I'm laughing now, I'm afraid, imagining Snoopy squirming and thrashing and struggling - it's amazing what a ?about 7 pound cat can put you through, isn't it?
