I've seen and used a pill popper for pets. It's basically a tube with a rubber tip that you put the pill in, and there's a piece inside the tube you push on to pop the pill out of the rubber tip.

Obviously, you stick it in the dog's or cat's mouth kind of far back so they can't spit it out, and then push the button. It works really well.

Here's one of them:

Thanks so much. I'll check that out and show it to my hubby.

I can hide my dog's pills in food (she'll eat anything), but this cat is very smart about hiding and then spitting out the pills.

Thanks Brian, I have some experience in these matters and can take it from here. With a cat, what we're looking for is a conduit to pass the pill thru. Any small tube will do - metal, plastic, glass, steel pipe from Home Depot, ductwork, pyrex will work, too. If you don't have tubing lying around, solids will also work well if you jam them in and then lift up - a chopstick, for example. The main thing is to open a passage for the pill to pass thru. Remember, if you don't get the pill there, your cat could die - do you want that on your hands?
