Kittens may be nice, cats are bastards.
Met an old girlfriend in the pub at lunchtime yesterday. She said she was very worried about her cat because she could not get him to swallow antibiotics needed to clear up an eye infection.

Having some knowledge of animals (?) (b'cos I once saw a vet wrap a cat in a towel in order to adminster a drug,) I offered to help.

Went back to hers, captured cat, found old towel.
RIGHT! Firm but gentle.

To cut a long story short- the cat escaped the towel, ran up my arm, and not content with slashing my forearm to bits, it managed to get one of its claws stuck in my stitches. (forgot to mention, I have 8 stitches in my elbow following some minor surgery)

PAIN.? yes.
WEEPING.? oh yes
CHOKED THE CAT TO DEATH.? no, only because I could not catch the little bastatrd.

Back to casualty. I'm on first name terms with most of the nurses now. So every cloud.....

Tell her to hide the tablets in chicken or tuna
hope the pain recedes soon.

I'm covered in scars from my cat
it's what they do, bless.

I'd go with grinding up the pills
and mixing them in some tuna. If cats don't want to do something they get rather physical about it. And wind up doing themselves more harm than you sometimes.

Liquid medication is way
easier to administer.

thanks for advice. but said cat has medi-dar.
It can spot meds in tuna from outside the cat-flap. And these drugs have to be given whole.

Personally I am recomending a dart gun/ shot gun.
