Depends on the cat Christine! Some cats take pills better, others take liquid better but still, a cat is usually harder to pill than a dog. I don't have problems catching any of mine. Does she run and hide? She knows something is up! I'm not sure what med you were given but you could call the vet and ask if it can be mixed with food. Some can be crushed and liquid added and syinged into them. With some cats you just plain need two people. Wish I was able to help you! I actually get on my knees and put the cat between my knees so they can't back away. Some cats do better if you put them on a counter top, a surface theya ren't used to. Good luck. Have a long talk with her and tell her why she needs her meds! -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Christine (Molly Ann mom) 's message, "How does any one go about catching a cat to wrap her up in a towel and give her pills? I been trying to catch Molly Ann this morning and it is so fusterating to no ends. I'm thinking about just taking her back to the vet and let her keep her and give her the pills. I got such a headache now. I'm thinking about it probably won't do it. (nm)" on 9:07:09 am, Wed, 03/26/08

Denise she not eating at all. I gave her both of her pills last night one is a anitbiotic and the other one is a appitze pill to get her to eat. She ate some last night which I was happy about. (msg) -- Christine (Molly Ann mom), 8:11:53 pm, Wed, 03/26/08
Kate ahd to pill Maggie recently and used Pill Pockets, have you seen these? It's a moist treat you wrap the pills in. If you do the pills alone, try a bit of butter on them, helps them slide down and tastes better. (NT) -- Denise, 8:28:18 pm, Wed, 03/26/08
I haven't heard of that. I will have to call my vet to see if they carry those. Or I might try the butter also if they don't carry that. My mom is trying today while I'm gone put her pills in tuna fish and maybe she will eat it and get them down. Heck if that works (msg) -- Christine (Molly Ann mom), 10:22:05 am, Thu, 03/27/08
