Oh Barb and Siegmar. My thoughts are with you. Trying to pill a cat can sometimes takes some major adjustments for everyone.

Hint 1 from Sas: Put the pill in your pocket and act as though nothing is up, life is usual. Then sit down and do your regular thing.....reading...writing....etc. and when Tigis comes near, nab him, and force the pill down his throat.

Hint 2: Did I give you some pillpockets when you visited? My cats hate them, so they didn't and won't work for me and my cats!

Hint 3: Mash the pill up and try to hide it in the food?! This never works for me either. My cats can smell it.

I found that by putting the pill in my pocket, I would be ready for action at any time. Miley (the usual pill/kitty) also could tell the noise from the pill envelope/bottle and would take off running. I could fool here while sitting and kitting or eating etc. ...... She never mistrusted me when MY behavior was usual, just when I was stalking her to pill her!

It sounds as though you have your work cut out for you.

Another alternative would be to confine him in a small room where he cannot hide. It sounds awful to confine a kitty - but then he could be caught to administer the medicine.

Keep us posted!

Love and warm fuzzy headbumpies to Tigris! and Barb and Siegmar and Filou too!
