Having met Tigris, I can imagine it could be quite a task to pill him. I remember how nervous I was the first time I had to give Fister pills. I tried the above methods, but none worked. They're smart enough to smell the pills inside of a treat. I once crushed a pill and divided it up inside of 5-6 shrimps - he took the first one ....

What did work, was to "catch" him by surprize when he was sitting very relaxed looking out of the window. I simply went up to him as if to cuddle (has to be from behind, so you can put your arms around him!), opened his mouth from one side and stroking his chest with my other hand - down the throat it went. You could also try while he's sleeping. The important part is not to appear nervous, they will immediately sense it!

Once the pill is inside the mouth, stroke his chest to make him swallow!!

With cats, I've learned a few things, force won't work, and patience is essential!

Best of luck!!

Give him headbumpies and kisses from us.
