My "Deceased-For-The Moment" Familiar, Jackie The Ripper, would probably still try to kill me if I even dared to THINK about giving her a pill... But this lady makes it look easy! :) Expert Village has great videos on nearly everything, and this one is no exception... Imagine the money that you could save if you didn't have to take your cat to the vet everytime that he or she needed to take a pill! :) http://www.expertvillage.com/videos/cat-first-aid-health-pill-pockets.htm There are plenty of cat owners here on MyLot- check out this video and let me know what you think... Does your cat become "Psycho" every time you try to give it medicine? How often does your cat become "vengeful" after a trip to the vet?

yeh they always make it look eay, I was shown by a vet once but I think there is a secret of bluffing the cat at who is the boss, its a bit like that lady on TV who trains the dogs, she makes it look so easy...

I have never had to give my cat any medicine, and hopefully I never will, but I have seen it done. This video does make it look easy though, and will be kept in mind if I ever have to do it.

You always know how to make me laugh. I wish I had seen this video thirteen years ago, the first time I tried to take Katrinko to the vet. I had to give him a tranquilizer an hour before his appointment. After an hour of chasing the cat, bloodied arms, and a lot of crying, I had to call the vet and postpone the appointment. She gave me a double dose of tranquilizer and advised me to disguise it in peanut butter. Katrinko went for the peanut butter, and within minutes, he was glassy-eyed and limp on the window sill. But after he returned from the vet, he never ate peanut butter again. He sulked and hissed at me for days afterward. Talk about grudges! When he sees anyone getting the peanut butter jar down from the shelf, he hides. Again, thanks for the laugh!
