Putting eye medicine in a cat's eye is hard enough. I'm lucky in that I've never had to give any of them oral medication...but sounds like that may change when Cleo comes home. I had a hard enough time getting her in the carrier!

Just incredible.

Sometimes wrapping them in a towel and then kneeling over them works. But yeah...cats aren't exactly easy to give pills or medication to.

Fiona, on the other hand...stick a TINY bit of food with the pill or pour the medicine over food, and that'd be gooooone. If she didn't just eat it by itself.

She doesn't like Benedryl, though. And that's the main one I have to give her. She had an allergic reaction to a shot as a puppy (her face swelled up and she came close to not being able to breathe), so now she has to have Benedryl before any shots. Getting her to swallow it requires some trickery. Gotta go through that on the 18th.

Good luck if you have to give her oral medication :) I tell ya, I didn't even need to workout after that, I got wore out just feeding my cat! :)
