Unsuccessful way to medicate a cat...

[catnapper]

Is he not interested in he food because the powder of the pill is so bitter?

I'm currently pilling Pouncer, who is whipping my butt. Smart little brat knows when I hide it in anything, so I keep to the traditional scruff and toss method. I pray I hit the center or else he can work it back out, and I get to toss in a slimy pill

good luck girl!

Ming has to be pilled every other day and has been for about two years now. Here is how I do it and it is quick and painless. I wrap the pill (Ming's are very small, also) in soft bread and gently place it at the back of his throat with my finger. He automatically swallows it and there is no bad taste. Takes about ten seconds. Ming used to fight me hard on this, scratch, claw, spit it out, until I tried this. You don't have to force it down their throat, either, which is why I like this method. Good luck, Donna!
