hi carla - I have one of those pill popper thingys - it looks a bit like a syringe, you stick the tablet in the end of it and then press the plunger part. It usually works lol!
One of the tablets my cat is on (strangely it is a human prescription med) dissolves incredibly fast so if she hasn't swallowed it she 's usually foaming at the mouth within about 30 seconds - serves her right!
