^^We have the same cats. She will eat all around the pill, and if its crushed, she wont touch her food! With the other pills she held it in her mouth, then left and dropped it in her food bowl! She's too smart. I want a stupid cat! With these antibitoics, even though they are liver flavor, she hates them. she chewed it for a sec, then spit it out!
The way you described is exactly how i give it to her. I hold her and someone opens her mouth to toss it way back. I will def give her a peice of turkey afterwards. She scratches, but she is afraid to scratch anyone except me, so if there's someone else, she wont touch them. She'll spit it out a couple times too. She'll turn her head, and try to wriggle away. I'll def try to be calmer and we always pet her. Good tips, glad to know I'm doing it right. I have no idea what to do about the Diabetes now. I wanna take her to a homeopathic vet because syringe is very daunting and blood tests, its painful for her and me. But, while we wait, I might as well do what I can. I also bought her fancy feast canned food as many suggested, without wheat gluten, but she doesnt seem to want it. Maybe the UTI is still bothering her. We;ll see...maybe if she gets really hungry she'll eat it. I just spotted a mouse so I am about to go to class and hope she makes mamma proud and kills it! Thanks everyone. I guess I may have jumped to a conclusion too fast. EVen if we end up putting her to sleep, all your tips have made her feel better right now, which is so important.
