Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Reconsidering my options
Bucky's paw is looking a lot better, and he is sort of almost letting me give him his medicine. He struggles a bit, and I finally get it in his mouth, but he still tells me that I am poisoning him. Tonight, I sat down on the floor with Bucky and sat him in my lap, the better to hold him while forcing his medicine on him. Bucky looked me in the eye and reminded me that he had several claws with immediate access to my crotch. I decided that this was a good time to reconsider my options, and we settled for giving him his medicine while sitting next to me instead. Poor baby. He did start up a nice rumbly purr for me while I sweet-talked him after the medicine (grin).

Mosey did the same thing when I gave him his yukky meds. > Tonight, I sat down on the floor with Bucky and sat him in my lap, the > better to hold him while forcing his medicine on him.

I've Gotten Religion about them, and I feel the need to proselytize about them here. Licky actually looks forward to getting his medicine! I hope I never have to pill another cat - just give them a treat instead. Joyce >And yet another: Pill Pockets! I've Gotten Religion about them, and I >feel the need to proselytize about them here.

Two of mine are not faked-out by the Pill Pockets at all. The third will happily snarf down anything I can give her with a Pill Pocket wrapped around it. I think that's great since she is the mean one of the bunch. So we get pills and Pill Pockets for one and liquid meds with treats afterwards for the other two.

He loves them, though, and will happily chow down on his medicine. (He's done with meds now, though!) Joyce An Executive Decision, Mark and a good one.
