Pill popper, long skinny device. Stick pill in the end, jam it down cat's throat, press plunger to release pill, watch cat look at you in shock at being out smarted.

I often just have a technician give the pill to the cat when I buy the pill from the vet's office. I go when it's slow and they're bored, and they offer to do it no charge.

Oddly enough I have rarely had any real trouble giving a cat a pill...that being said, when they do manage to spit it out....holy crap can they fling that pill!!

I had a choice between pills and liquid antibiotics for Spikey. I thought I was being astute choosing the liquid. That pink liquid cat antibiotic realllly stings when it gets in your eyes.

Over the years our children had a variety of pets, one cat was like Horse from Footrot Flats fame - the whole process was a lot like that at first until we found he really liked a particularly expensive brand of cat food.  He only got it when we had to worm him or something similar.  When he was spayed, a little later than most our vet warned he would 'mark' stuff for awhile - almost every pair of my husband/s shoes had to be replaced.  The smell never quite comes out.

Ok so maybe it's the wrong term - whatever it's called when they make a male cat infertile ... like you didn't understand the intention.

Neutered. For male cats, it's getting neutered.

Either way, I have three cats myself, one who had to have an emergency cyctotomy to remove stones from his bladder about 5 monthes ago. I opted for the liquid banana flavoured antibiotics for him. Now, why the fuck they make banana flavoured antibiotics for cats is completely beyond me...but it was a site lot easier to give him liquid medication than a pill.

Technically, for either gender of cat it's neutering.  All of our cats (male, female, and hermaphrodite) were neutered ... to hell with differentiating.

Holly has the cat medicating down - it's hysterical to watch MIA trying to spit the liquid back out after Holly doses her *snickers*

That cracks me up, Kaylin. Because when wild cats roamed the tropics, they developed a fondness for bananas??

Yeah. Obviously the person who made the medication did not have their thinking cap on that day. *chuckles*

Maybe they use that flavor so it won't taste as bad when the cat spits it back at ya and some gets in your mouth.

1. Tap cat gently with a sledgehammer.
2. Save money on pills, cleaning, deodorizer, cat litter, vet payments.
3. Enjoy home that stays 20 times cleaner, smells better, and is allergen-free with no extra effort.
