Caturday: Getting medicine into cats

 


Bobolink, our FIV kitty, has developed the wiles of a strong-willed old man at a nursing home. No matter how I give him his daily pills, I find them later under beds, near the litter box, or, all too frequently, on my bedspread. Pill pockets don’t work. Pill popper does not work. Mixing the pill with treats does not work. So, I stick it in his mouth with my hand. He pretends he has swallowed it, looking at me with big honest (uh, dishonest) eyes and prepped for his morning bowl of food, which he eats assiduously, as if all is normal. Then, when I move away and he thinks I am not looking, he spits the pill out in a forceful arc which lands it in any kind of unanticipated place.
