  • @ctzjolie bit late maybe but ask the vet if you can crush the pills and mix them in with the food. Gotta be crushed properly if they're a bright colour though

  • This is the 3rd day I am giving pills to my cat. The morning session went ok without much battle. But this evening's session, I had to retreat. She wont open her jaw; she kept it tight and was struggling hard to go free..I've wasted 3 pills so far and still have 7 days left to complete the medication..aarrgh! Is there any other easier way to do this???

  • yeessss, pet the kitty. Pet the kitty all nice and good like.

  • My cat won't sit still for one, and when i try to wrap it she jumps out, if I hold her down she bites me.

  • Having just battled a cat while trying to administer ear drops, I'd like to point out that the instructor completely releases the first "hold" in order to open the cat's mouth. My cat and many others would take that opportunity to RUN!

  • OK, lady. Try that with my cat. I'll give you $100 if you don't lose blood.

  • my cat nibling hes tos i dont no way

  • my cat snaps her mouth shut before we can even try to get it open!

  • my cat tries to run off!

  • lol im e
