Michael, as a member of the ORANGEMEN(who are know for their fiesty behaviour), please clam down and let your Dad help you to get better, It is no fun to be sick, however, in order to get well, you must take those meds!!! I am hoping that Ralph Syracuse will be at your Dad's side to assist him! Many prayers for Michael and for Gary, too!!!

I think you should put him in the bathroom until he's finished with his meds.
Don't feel bad when he cries to come out or bangs on the door.He needs to stay in there so you can get his medicine in him.
I am praying for your dear Michael.Poor little guy.

Best wishes to Michael for getting well soon. It is heartbreaking and so frustrating when they fight being medicated and we're only trying to help them because we love them so.

Best way I've found is a small room with a bench at waist height. For me this is the laundry and I sit Cleo on a towel on the washing machine. She now knows "something happens" when I pick her up and take her there and it's like a routine she understands and complies with. I have to say that now she is older she is less feisty than she used to be and this doesn't work for everyone, therefore. It's worse for cats when it's an occasional short-lived thing rather than a daily ritual they've got used to.

Oh Gary! Poor Michael! Oh No!

Any time I have the option of pill or liquid, I take pill form. Liquid goes all over the cat's fur, all over me, the table, or counter, the floor. Doubt is ANY gets in the CAT!

I liked the thought of keepin ghim confined in a small room for a few days for easier catching.

Vita is taking pills right now. She has to eat something or it will make her throw up. So at feeding time, I make sure she has plenty. I get her after 4 or 5 bites. Pop the pill in the mouth, clamp the muzzle closed, rub the throat to encourage a swallow, and set her back in front of her dish. She howls at me for tricking her, and then goes back to eating.
