people who have never tried to give a cat a pill don't know the real definition of the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat!

Being forced to take a pill or, really anything against their will, offends a cat's dignity. Woe be to those of us who offend the dignity of the royal cat!

We have a few that can't be pilled. A marginal degree of success by grinding to powder and lacing into tuna or chicken. I finally realized how the vet makes it look so easy. Surprise. The cat doesn't see it coming that first time and offers minimal resistance. 12 hours later when you try the same technique the cat has formulated a ferocious defense and is ready.

Cats! Even trying to use ear drops (for mites) becomes a military campaign...you need a plan usually involving additional troops (for distraction), stealth strikes & fast retreat ability!

To be the servant of felines requires the lesser human creature be able to take insult. Cats can snub us with just a tail twitch.
