    You can do it! I have cast all along the "pilling scale" -- Pouncer is the poster child for being easy to pill. Allen is impossible.... even if I swear he's swallowed the pill after a 20 minute struggle, I find the pill sitting on the carpet somewhere about an hour later. The other 3 fall somewhere in between, with Abby a close second to Allen. I swear both Abby and Allen can tap into my mind and know when I'm even thinking about giving them their next pill.

    I do it exactly the way Medusa described, fortunately, it has been long ago I last had to pill Fister. The trick is to do it while he's sitting relaxed and pretend you're just coming to give him a cuddle, that makes it so much easier.

    Good luck!

    I Mentioned To The Vet How Hard It Is To Give Joseph His Meds So Hes Making The Meds A Liquid One Which I Can Wipe On His Mouth.
    Hes Giving Joseph An Ejection So That Will Take Care Of A Lot Of It, And Hopefully The Gummie Will Be Mostly Healed Up, But I Will Do My Best To See Joseph Takes His Meds.
    Please Wish Me Luck.

    Mitzi is a little minx when it comes to pilling. Although my "straddle the cat" technique works with her, she has psychic (or is that psychotic?) talents and knows when it's pill time. She does her magical *poof* the yocto second I even think if pilling her and disappears up into the center of my king-sized mattress where she knows I can't reach her.
