My Dad was expert at giving our cat pills that it needed for it's diabetes bad heart. Every time he did it it worked perfectly. After flipping the pill in the cats mouth he would hold the cats mouth closed for a while and pet the cat gently to keep him calm. The cat will swallow the pill. If you release the cat as soon as you flip the pill in its mouth the cat will most definitely spit it out. The way my Dad did it worked every time.

That's because dogs wolf down their food like a high powered vacuum. Put a huge bowl of food down in front of the typical pooch and it's down the hatch in a few seconds, pill and all. :lol: If you try and sneak the pill in the cats food the cat will eat everything else but the pill.

I watched someone try to give a cat a bath. It was a mixture of slapstick humor, and horror seeing the bath giver's arms sliced to shreds.

Not all dogs... My dog has become very good at finding the pill even in a peanut butter sandwich (Pretty much our only delivery method we had)...

I have to give Toots a quarter of a pill twice a day . I just dissolve it with a few drops of water, mix it with a little gravy juice , and she laps it up.

"My pusses don't need any pills"
You walked face first into something there but I'll reserve comment. (;->)

As for medicating cats I kept the 420 for myself and gave them copious quantities of fresh catnip. It was so funny watching them foam at the mouth and falling all over themselves not knowing which way was up. Hamsters wrecked on ether were just as funny and so were turtles after spinning around on my turntable. My cats loved to be spun too but too big for the turntable the smooth linoleum kitchen floor was the substitute. They looked like the stoned hamsters for a while and when they recovered kept coming back for more over and over, they wanted me to keep it up all day. They were just too cool and thankfully didn't need any pills but if I had to give them any I would have used their favorite delivery system, crushed and mixed with spaghetti sauce.
