I'm sure trying to pill a cat is something we've all experienced and
had a hard time with.

But this is a new one.

Arthur has asthma, and has to take Prednisone once a day.  Now, I
always pill the cats right before feeding (which you should do with
Pred, anyway), and Internet always fights me.  But Arthur is a
different story.

Arthur, you may recall, is my shoulder-sitting cat.  He *loves* to get
up on my shoulder and sit there and headbutt me, even riding around on
my shoulder if I go walking about the apartment.

At any rate, I get out Arthur's pill for the first meal of the day and
call him.  "Arthur!"  He shows up, jumps up on the couch, and waits.
I pet him, open his mouth, slide the pill down his throat, and he rubs
me or jumps up on my shoulder and purrs!

I don't know if he's grateful knowing the pill helps him, or if he's
just glad it's feeding time!

grateful he's so *easy*!
