Am I crazy for wanting a Maine Coon Cat? Twenty or more pounds of big-assed cattitude. I want one. I'm nuts.

Very true, except no decent human being would fail to forgive us.

No, here's how it's done.
Pick up cat while speaking softly to it and rubbing it from this head to the base of the tail.
When the cat raises it's tail, as they always do, quickly jam the pill into the cats rectum. Simultaneously, release the cat forcefully in the opposite direction, preferably within 2 or 3 feet of a solid object taking care that the cats forehead strikes the aforementioned solid object with some force.
While the cat is recovering momentarily from the blow to the head, quickly seat yourself on your couch or easy chair as if nothing at all has happened.
9 times out of 10, the cat will shake his head a few times, turn around and begin to lick his posterior as if nothing happened.
He doesn't want to admit that he let just you get away with shoving a pill up his ass, and you sure as hell don't want to the cat to remember that you just shoved a pill up his ass.
As a result, everyone seems to be happy with this method in my house, other than my wife of course.
But what can I say, it works for me.

There's an easier way to do this.
Give the cat some white wine, then, when it's calm and has the munchies, feed it the pill on a cracker spread with peanut butter.
It doesn't take much wine (maybe a half teaspoon on a saucer), and it never seemed to have any ill effects on my boss's Manx. The nasty cat was 12 years old when I was entrusted with "pill duty," and last I knew, it was still going strong at 18.
They say a glass of wine a day is good for you . . .(actually, that's how I got talked into pill duty in the first place)

How true, how true. I recall having to update my tetanus immunization in an ER midway through an interstate move. Kitty didn't like the idea of her carrier, let alone the long car ride. She laid into me with her claws like nobody's business.
The same kitty managed to propel the vet's syringe across the room onto the top of a cabinet once when she didn't want her rabies shot. The vet laughed and assured me that it was typical behavior for a tortoiseshell cat. Otherwise she was mild-mannered and sweet - go figure!

Dogs have owners.
Cats have staff.
Cats are just tiny women in cheap fur coats.
