I’m a dog person-——and that’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time.

Pill administration to all of our family cats has always been grippingbthe beasty by the scruff of the neck, inverting, and when they cry in protest the pill drops into the back of the mouth at the same time as a glob of spit and the free pill hand then closes the mouth in one swift action... holding th3 mouth closed to make it swallow. Works like a charm.
