cats and pills..

[little_firestar]

cats owners over there on lj: how do you make your cat to take pills? I should dose Mina with anti-worms pills, but we've tried already twice this year, and with no effect. The liquid version of the drug isn't strong enough according to our vet-and he is normally right, trust me, that man seems that eh ahd just escaped from a banlieu, hasn't learnt completely Italian after 30 yrears spnet here, but he is a freaking genious- but little devil vomits it if we mix it with water and if she tastes it with food- any food,even meat- she just stops eating.
So, what do you do?

two people, burrito wrap kitty in a large towel and have one person keep hold of them. The other opens the mouth, pops in the pill and massages the throat until they swallow.

Zara is notorious for that. It works eventually. It just depends on who's more stubborn - you or the cat. Also, if you think she's swallowed, keep massaging for a couple of minutes after, just to be sure.
