    Het, you really DO own a cat. This sounds like amazingly like trying to bath a cat, except that usually involves at least three new shower curtains and a multitude of bandages and dressings.

    Easy! This is how George gets his medication, it takes two and is best acheived with a sleepy cat.

    Cradle cat with right arm. With left hand reach around and grasp scruff of cats neck firmly. You now have one fairly imobolised cat. Wife now takes pill in right hand and uses left thumb and forefinger to apply slight pressure to each corner of cat's upturned mouth. Cat opens mouth and wife drops pill RIGHT DOWN throat. Cat makes k-k-kk-k- sound and swallows pill.

    LOL love it!

    I had to give our cat a bath the other week and had the scratches to prove it after, she had come home really distressed and wet, when I picked her up she stank of chemicals, so I dont know where she had been. By the time I'd finished I was just as wet as the cat and the bathroom floor was a wash! She then spent the next 2 hours washing herself and rearranging her fur that I had messed up.

    How come cats always know which piece of KiteKat contains the invisible tablet? Even if you've starved them for a week and then give them one morsel, they know, don't they, and won't touch it. Fussy buggers!

    Forget about pills, get liquid medicine and a syringe. Works almost everytime.
