Thanks,

Advice For Giving A Cat Medication

1) Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a
baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and
gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat

5) Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call
friend to help.

6) Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear
paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get friend to hold head firmly with
one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub
cat's throat vigorously.

7) Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make
note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered Doulton
figurines from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

8) Wrap cat in large towel and get friend to lie on cat with head just
visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth
open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

9) Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink glass of water
to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to friend's forearm and remove blood from
carpet with cold water and soap.

10) Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Place cat in
cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open
with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.

11) Fetch screwdriver from garage and put door back on hinges. Apply cold

tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

12) Call fire department to retrieve cat from tree across the road.
Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat.
Take last pill from foil-wrap.

13) Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to
leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed, force cat's
mouth open with small wrench. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece
of filet mignon. Hold head vertically and pour 1/2 pint of water down throat
to wash pill down.

14) Get friend to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor
stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call
furniture store on way home to order new table.

15) Consider giving cat to friend and call pet shop to see if they have any
hamsters.

Oops! I forgot to say, I'm new here too. Not wanting to be rude to our
transatlantic friends, but are there any UK or European cat related
newsgroups. Some of the issues that our North American friends face (eg
mountain lions) just don't exist in your green & pleasant land and my green,
green grass of home. :-)

I don't know of any, but the lion- and snake-stories are
interesting too.
Beyond that the cats are the same all over the world.
But you could start a group and I'll join ...

Welcome!
