How To Give A Dog A Pill
1. Wrap it in bacon.
2. Toss it in the air.
While that's amusing
I used to disolve the pills in water and got a liquid syringe for giving pets liquid medication. Shot the diluted pill into the cats mouth.

We use cheese.
ROFL next time put pill in cat treat. cat will eat it. Will save you lots of money. Or you could have given the cat some wiskey.
We use a pill dispenser-- fires the pill into the back of the mouth. The cat has no choice.
I have a demon cat right now. I don't think I could get a pill in his mouth unless I beat him up first.
I haven't slept right in 18 days because of that Devil cat....it cries every night and wakes me up several times. Even with earplugs I still hear him. He's getting louder as he gets bigger.
Punch him in the face before you go to bed each night. That should helpl.

Yea cheese and cream cheese works great...
I chase him around, throw him in the air and on the couch, pin him down, rub him furiously, feed him, play with him, etc and even after making him so tired and him panting like a dog he still wakes me up. He wants to play 24/7.
He thinks that you're his bitch right now. You have to show him who's boss.
Put a piece of duct tape on his back and let the fun ensue!!!
He's lonley and bored. Get him a buddy
A German Shepherd maybe?
Our cat makes some really weird noises sometimes. Out-of-this-world inhuman game monster noises.
It's creepy.
I use peanut butter...you get the added entertainment of watching them lick the roof of their mouth for a while, too...
I'd be tempted to drown him in it though. Oh, we're still talking about giving pills?
I'm afraid to get my cat a buddy since he might corrupt him. I've already shown him who's boss but he still is a monster. He's stopped biting and scratching though since I pin him down until he submits.
aww, does wusy need deworming?
Are you offering to give him a rectal exam? That's sick.
LMAO
I got through nearly the same frigin routine with my dog and her heartworm medicine every month.
Nice one. ;-)
I just say "Lottie, tablets" and she jumps up on the chair and waits for a tablet. She swallows the tablet and immediately jumps down and grabs a toy to play with, she knows she has earned some of my time. Same worked for the eye drops I had to give her for a week.
Similarly, I would say, "Matty ... medicine cookie". He would walk up, sit, look up and open his mouth. I'd place a pill in the back of his mouth and give him a treat to swallow with. He was great with medicine. Now getting women's panties away from him could cost you part of your hand ... but hey, I'm the same way 8O
Cockers are so well behaved. Gun dogs are on Sunday at Crufts. Lottie has her siblings there.
ROFL
That was great!
Some of it reminded me of my own cat, Missy.
Lynda and I tried to give her a bath but we were laughing so hard we could hardly wash her.
She had spread herself out and grabbed the door facing and as fast as Lynda could get one paw off she had it back on we probably spent 5 minutes just trying to get her into the bathroom.
Then the same thing happened with the shower rod and towel bar inside the bathroom, we were laughing so hard we couldn't get anything done.
We didn't know the cat could stretch so far!
My cat tore my leg open by walking around the edge of the tub while I was taking a bath and then falling in. He freaked out and decided it was better to stretch out, reaching for all sides of the tub with his legs, and when he couldn't reach tear my leg open rather than get wet.
ROFL Your leg was the only thing he could get a grip on, good thing it wasn't your short leg!
Can't let it hang out around this little bastard and I have to watch the angle of the dangle too or he'll think he's found something else to attack.
Besides: who gives a pill for de-worming? Ivermectin paste. Good for all God's critters.
but he's sooooooooo cute though......who needs sleep anyway?
Well I'm not getting any action right now so I figure sleep is good.
Is that the pussy you have been boasting about? 8O
I haven't been boasting about any pussy, especially since my pussy is male. I just took him for a shot....little bastard cried the whole way. I figure if he doesn't let me sleep tonight I'm going to do terrible things.... 8O
Give him a 4th of a Bennedryl pressed into a soft cat treat 90 min later he'll be out for the night, that cat treat trick also works for giving pills.
Forget the pills.
1. Get catnip.
2. Give to cat
3. Get a helium balloon.
4. Tie it to cat's tail.
5. Get beer from fridge, watch, enjoy!
Catnip + this cat = end of world
AYYYY, you took my advice and finally changed your avatar, kinda odd, but looks good.
Why the heck do you have a cat in the first place if you hate them so much, dh?
in some places it is legal to shoot cats
