Jen, you're RIGHT the crushing does not work. We even put it in tuna! We finally went and bought a piller at PetsMart and we got every cat pilled but Blaze (of course) and Spike. Spike was horrible. I have battle wounds all over my hands. We finally gave up and will take him & Blaze to the vet and let them deal with it. The house got sprayed today and the area rugs cleaned. Thank goodness we don't have carpeting! I hear that makes it all the more difficult to get rid of. Thank you all for listening. This has been quite the experience (and cost). I already feel better about it though1
