Looking at replies....
I remember one cat I had. Years ago. I had to snake a feeding tube down her throat for about a week.
Now THAT was no picnic, believe me.
I’ve had to give pills to cats and dogs over the years. Some were easy. Some were hard.
But nothing compared to the feeding tube I had to force into that cat.

We have a Chihuahua that has to take daily pills. I use a syringe-add pills, add water, shake, squirt the mixture into her mouth.Then I feed her a little Yogurt on my finger. Dip lick repeat.
