Recently,Hiro was found to have lost control of his two back legs-so we took him to the vet,who informed us that there was a loss of muscle mass possibly due to certain factors namely nutrition & the environment.So after being at the vet's boarding place for two days,being fed essential fluids to build up his appetite & attempt to make him the overactive,excitable cat he once was,we took him home with a bunch of pills he needed to be fed everyday.I've had little experience with giving pills to cats-but man,this one turned out to be a surprise-Hiro,always seen cuddled up meekly like a stinky furball in small corners,forever limp when you fetch him up-summons this CRAZY wild energy come pill-giving time,with all the furious clawing & loud screeching-you'd think he purposely rested all day to save the energy to battle off those small white pills.
But seriously,if you haven't tried it before,it's really no joke.This entry,however,is just too bloody funny,esp "Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing".Anyhu,for some serious,helpful tips on this matter,you can find some here & here.

haha.. i can imagine. we normally just crush it into their food or dissolve it in milk. saves the hassle.
haha ok here's the textbook method to do it :
get someone to cuddle the cat firmly, then you just open the mouth, throw the pill in, grab the mouth, stroke the throat and then use your finger to touch it's nose, by right it will lick its nose and boom, pill swallowed.
my fave method is sticking it into a fishball or a piece of cheese!
