We’ve had a medical crisis here. Willy, our oldest cat, had a urinary blockage and needed immediate medical intervention. We wound up driving him down to the Oradell animal hospital where he underwent a procedure to reroute his urethra. This is a PU, and is quite unpleasant. Willy is doing better now and has to take a ton of medicine. Anyone who has had to pill a cat knows how hard this can be.
The trip was in the middle of the horrible snow storm that dropped a foot or so of snow on the area. I’ll blog some pictures.
In the mean time, princess Gracie has decided that the new lace curtains and the new paint on the walls around her window seat suit her well.

Try dissolving a pill in worm milk and squirting it down his throat with a pipette or an eye-dropper.
Been there, done that. Max has to get pepcid when he throws up too much and that’s exactly how I do it. There is a thing called Greeny’s Pill Pockets that works for small pills. The big pills are tougher. The pill pockets are a cat treat with a hole in it for the pill. Cats eat the treat and never taste the pill.
I tried something similar to pill pockets when my dog was alive, (I would hide the pill on the inside of a blob of Swiss cheese) and it never worked. My dog would always separate the pill from the Swiss-cheese-pill-pocket and spit out the pill.
My family would resort to either liquefying the pills or putting the pill in her mouth, closing and holding down her muzzle, and refusing to let go until we could hear an audible “Gulp” sound.
