PMSL

So true

The dogs are so easy ham and pills get it down so easy

But we used to have cats and I dont know how many times the pill was mixed with food and every bit was eaten except the pill left like an island in the middle of the dish!!! :D
 
lol cheese works just as well with dogs round here!

my bestest top tip for getting pills into cats is:

crush up pill and mix with something really sticky like malt extract. smear mixture on cats paws - keep them off soft furnishings while they clean it off :D
 
PMSL, I have just had to give Winston my cat his wormer this morning, got the scars to prove it. (w00t) :lol:
 
lmao

we usualy start with 4hands and one of us holds cat the other pushes pill in, get it right about the first time but spoon has managed to conquer the art of holding it in long enough that you think shes swallowed it then 10mins later is sick in the corner :rant: :rant: :rant: you know if you need to give her it again your better of just covering your arms in plasters just to save having to do it later. :angry:
 
Gerry Anderson a presenter on Radio Ulster read this out on his radio show a few years back and we were in hysterics listening to it :lol: :lol:

Anyone with cats will know just how true EVERY WORD of this is!!! :b :- " It gets to the stage when trying to give one of ours a worm tablet :angry: that we just have to give in and let the damn cat keep her worms :rant: :rant: (not that she ever show any signs of having any) :b , IF THATS WHAT SHE WANTS....SO BE IT !!! If anyone out ther wants to give our lovely Chloe her worm tablets, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO VOLUNTEER ANYTIME !!!!! :thumbsup:

Chloe is a very fit, healthy, black & white moggy :wub: :wub: of about 11 years old by the way :thumbsup:
 
if you think popping a pill into a cats mouth is bad wait till you need to give the little b*gger a bath! :- "
 
Bathing a cat - piece of cake! Dazzle never ever washes himself so I bath him once a month! :p

Mind you, I wouldn't have considered it with my last cat Bob - I value my life too much! :- "

(w00t) That's really funny, but soooooo true too. Our cat bit through my husband's thumb nail once whilst we were trying to give him a worming pill :eek:
 
(w00t) I had my sisters enormous cat to stay with me for a while and he had to get antibiotics for some reason... I spent a whole week doing the above with 2 tablets. On the final day of pills I had him in a headlock on the window sill and had administered the first pill. I had put the other pill down on the window sill and when I released him to pick it up ready to repeat the process he spotted it. Did he run away? No... he ate it with great gusto :wacko: so from then on I offer tablets like a treat first.
