How to Give a Cat a Pill...

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.

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.

Having two dogs and a cat, your story is the absolute truth!!!!
Loved it, very funny, true but funny. LOL

[Caveman CBB]

Oh I'm not so sure. I had a dog once that could taste the pill no matter what you wrapped it in and how high in the air you threw it. He would eat the bacon, hot dog, or what ever then spit the pill right out on the ground. Then give you a look like "Lets do this game again, it's fun".

And wasn't it funny watching the dog's tongue action as he separated that pill from the meat and spat it out, then looked up at you as if to say, "what the heck did you put THAT in there for?!"
