Be very careful when doing this.  You can actually choke a cat by squirting
liquids down their throat.  Try very slowly squirting into the side of her
mouth instead (the side pouch so to speak).  

As to flax seed oil, check with your vet for the proper dosage.  Have you tried
whole fish body oils instead?  It's more bioavailable to the cat than flax.  I
squirt the contents of 1 capsule over each cat's food and they don't seem to
mind it a bit.

Also, what are you feeding your cat?  A high quality food may improve coat
condition more than anything.  When was the last time kitty had a vet check?

My other cat had that problem too and flaxseed is exactly what the vet
suggested. Just a few drops on her food. She didn't notice. Maybe you're
using too much on her food? The vet did say if you used too much , it could
result in the runs. Good luck

You might want to choose a supplement made from menhaden fish oil instead of
flaxseed oil as a source of omega-3 fatty acids - flaxseed oil is a little
too high in omega-6.  Two of the omega-6 derived eicosanoids are
proinflammatory,

Omega-3 and omega-6 compete for the same enzyme systems, so, increasing the
tissue concentration of omega-3 reduces the proinflammatory effects of the
omega-6 eicosanoids.

A better solution is to give your cat a skin supplement made
specifically for animals in capsule form. You can pop it down the hatch
and not worry about your cat aspirating oil. You can find examples here:
