I got to get pills into my cat. she's sussed the crumble-into-food trick and the hide-in-morsel trick. There's just one of me: any tips on how to get a small pink pill into a small grumpy cat solo?
Have you tried wrapping her in a towel, trapping the now indignantly semi-mummified cat between your knees, prying her jaw open and posting the pill down it with a biro, and then blowing on her nose to make her swallow?
The blowing-on-the-nose trick, which I got from djinanna and which absolutely works, is the only bit of this I'd recommend.
Well, Bean doesn't really mind being picked up and given pills as long as she isn't tipped upside-down in the process - I think she just regards it as being paid some attention - and hiding the pill in treat food doesn't work on Kosh as the moment she gets ill she stops eating, so we're stuck with wrestle-the-cat more or less by default.
