If your cat is a little punk like mine, she may eat everything in the dish EXCEPT for the pill pieces.
Here are some suggestions to help you give a cat a pill if you have to:
Approach the kitty at pill time with a high voice telling her she's a good cat.
If your cat is a squirmer, try wrapping her body in a towel tightly with only her head popping out. It'll prevent your cat from scratching you especially with her back feet. Take your thumb and middle finger and gently open her mouth by the corners(no teeth there). Throw the pill toward the back of her mouth and gently hold her mouth closed for a few seconds with her head pointed to the ceiling. Then gently press on her throat to make her swallow.
The whole time talk to her in a happy voice and tell her she's a good girl so she won't be afraid and will be less likely to fight you. If she can sense that your mad or frustrated she'll try to get away. It also helps when your done to give her a treat or to give her the pill before she eats her meals in addition to lots of pats. She'll think she's getting a reward.
Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to do it pretty fast. It's just awkward and a little frustrating in the beginning. Good luck.
