My cats don't like the Pill Pockets unfortunately, even if there is nothing inside them! But, I have found that the prednisilone (like prednisone but more cat friendly) must not have much of a taste to it because two of my cats that I have been giving it to (now just one cat) don't even notice that it is crushed up in their wet food. These two cats are my fussiest and they will not eat wet food that may have been 'tainted' with meds but somehow the pred makes it under their radar and they don't even know it's in their food. I use the back of a spoon to crush half a tab in the bowl and I make sure it's all in powder form with no larger pieces and then I mix it well with a couple of teaspoons of fancy feast or stinky cat tuna.
Also, there is another option. I used to give prednisilone to my cat Jimmy using a transdermal gel. Your vet can order it through their veterinary pharmacy. I used to get a box of 3 syringes and each syringe had 1 ml in it. His dose was every other day and all I had to do was squirt 1/10th of the syringe onto the back of a spoon and then smear it inside his ear flap. It was awesome and so easy! The meds work their way into the cat's system and are supposed to work as effectively as the pills. I stopped using it because my RB cat Charlie used to groom Jimmy and he was sometimes ingesting the meds that were not meant for him.
