Different things work with different cats (not to mention different type meds).

For some I use the pill popper syringe thingy.

For some I squeeze the side of the jaw to open the mouth, put the pill as far back on the tongue as I can, close the muth and stroke the throat to encourage swallowing. I sit in the recliner, with the cat wedged in between me and the arm of the chair. I have one arm over the cat's back, around the head and under the chin.

For some I can wrap it in a piece of deli turkey.

Pet Edge has something new out, I just saw it in their latest catalog which arrived int he mail last week: Flavor Doh. Here is the link:

And then there is Ruffles, who has to take a pill (not a capsule) once per day for her thyroid. I say, "Pill, Ruffles." She sits and lets me hold her gently. I offer the pill to her mouth and she licks it up. Wish they were ALL like her!
