    :lol: I was almost rolling on the floor at this and was trying to be silent in my laughter at work. Too funny, and makes me think of trying to give pills to my old cats. I can say, the dog was just as bad, though. He knew how to sort the pill out of the treat and spit it back at you:D

    Yeah that's the truth, especially about the dog.

    ! Luckily my cats are a bit better than that . I remember when my grandmother had to give her dog pills but he soon learnt that certain foods = pills. So she'd have to give him 2 bits, one with the pill in it, the other without one in it

    oh gawd, that's hilarious. I think I've done almost all of the above...heh.

    But really, you know those "Pounce" kitty treats? they're like plasticine..I guess there's more than one brand like that though. They are what I use now to give my cat pills. If the pill is too big I break it into pieces, jam each one into a pounce thing, squish/mold the pounce thing so it's covering the entire piece of pill again and voila! kitty gobbles it down.

    I laughed so hard my stomach hurts.

    I have several cats, one of them I rescued as a homeless kitten. She will still not let us touch her tummy, so boy, can I realate. I once spent the better part of an hour getting her in a cat carrier, and more recently I had to put some tapeworm medicine on her neck (like flea medication). As I walked toward her, she knew immediately that something was up. For the rest of the story, see above!

    Thank you Shurtugal, for a wonderful laugh!
