1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand.   As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth.  

Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa.   

Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.

3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.

4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm, holding rear paws tightly with left hand.    Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger.

Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.

5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe.   Call spouse from garden.

6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws.  Ignore low growls emitted by cat.  Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains.    Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit.   

Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.


9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink 1 beer to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

10. Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed.    Get another pill.  Open another beer.    Place cat in cupboard, and close door onto neck, to leave head showing.   

Force mouth open with dessert spoon.    Flick pill down throat with elastic band.

11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges.    Drink beer. Fetch bottle of scotch.  Pour shot, drink. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot.

Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back another shot.    Throw tee shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

12. Call fire department to retrieve the damn cat from across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil wrap.

13. Tie the little bastard's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy-duty pruning gloves from shed.  Push pill
into mouth followed by large piece of filet steak.  Be rough about it.  Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

14. Consume remainder of scotch. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye.  Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.

15. Arrange for RSPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

BWAHAHA! We have four cats, so I can attest to this particular piece's validity!

I just laughed and laughed. It took 3 tries to make it down the whole page because i couldn't see through tears of laughter. I have actually had to go to emergency for stitches after trying to get a pill down a cat that i was cat sitting. Imagine explaining to a nurse why you have a perfect set of cat teeth marks in your right breast and a gash down your left arm that looks like a suicide attempt.

This is why I always ask for liquid medication for the felines.
 
Chain mail armor is useful in these situations as is having a second person just to hold the squirming patient.

My cat is kinda stupid, so he'll eat anything I give him. Guess I'm lucky. At the same time, I know for a fact that a 2 year old will put everything in her mouth that you don't want her to, but as soon as she gets sick....nothing.

Yeah ditto.  Mine eats anything that moves or doesn't.

Can bathe them also, can put him in the sink, go to closet for a towel and he still sits in there looking around.  Loves them bubbles.

... i have to agree so much. When i was young, my daddy and i would sit and laugh while my step-mom gave our cat the pills. Until the fateful day i had to help... Now i just have a scar that looks like a perfect suicide attempt. Good to see that not only happens to me. Except my dad was always trying to say our cat was sucking his soul out at night! lol

ROFLMAOWTRDMC!!!!!!!

(rolling on the floor laffin my ass off with tears running down my cheeks)

This is hilarious!  And, from what I've heard, true.

I must have been doing it all wrong though.  Never had to try more than 2 or 3 times to get a pill down any of my cats' throats.  I always did it by myself.  And never got seriously clawed or bitten in the process, so no scars to show for my efforts.   I just had wunnerful lil furkids.

The liquid medicine..... now THAT was the problem!!   Messy, messy, messy.  Who knew a lil kitty could spew that far, and that wide??   I quickly learned to lock them in the bathroom with me, hold them in the sink,  and medicate them there.  No furniture for them to get on top of, or hide behind, or under, so they'd be out of my reach.  Also, bathroom surfaces clean up way easier than carpeting and upholstery does.

Wow... I had it easy. My cat, Sage, she would sit there like a lump ( which meant if she really didnt want to have a pill, it was a pain in the ass to just hang on to her with her liquifying right through my hands ) while I tickled the corner of her mouth with my fingernail. When she opened her mouth, I would slip the pill in close to the back of her throat and then scratch her back to incite her to lick. Worked like a charm.

Thankfully my current cats are fairly fine (so I suppose). Pepper needed a tablet after she got sterilised as she refused to eat the days afterwards and the vet told me that this happens sometimes when...well, for whatever reasons, had something to do with the bowels...but thank fully no enema story here. However, I managed fairly easier to get this damn tablet into her mouth.

I had once a cat who needed eye drops that was a "joy" as she looked very careful through the slit of her eyelids and then kept it pressing together to avoid getting those eyedrops...she was such a b****....but at some point I got her to take that as well *lol*
