Tricking Cats into Willingly Taking Pills
Our lovely cat Mr Spud is on antibiotics at the moment and I dread it when he gets prescribed pills because getting him to take them is just impossible. I've had many cats in my life that need to take pills but this guy, despite being incredibly food motivated, is absolutely not having it and we all know how upsetting it can be for all parties involved. But yesterday as I watched him lick his empty plate, it occurred to me that maybe I could use his greedy nature to my advantage. I put his pills down and just sprinkled some of this freeze dried chicken stuff on top, and he just immediately licked it right up, pills and all. Same deal today. I feel like I've won the lottery, and wanted to share in case anyone else was at their wits end! Not an ad, obviously, though I wish it was - KatKin food ain't cheap!
