1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand.

Catlovers and owners will know this story is soooo true!  ;D

The vets just magically makes the pills go down without a fuss, but when you get home and have to do it yourself, all hell brakes loose!  :o  ;D

With Piper you just say "Cheese" and she'll eat it.


This is why I dislike cats, besides being allergic to them.




Very funny though  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My only question is in response to giving the dog a pill..
How do you stop the blasted dog from chomping down the bacon before he's wrapped in it, let alone the reason for tossing him in the air afterward?

My tactics with Majik and Ginny (My 2 cats) is definately a quick pinky in the mouth, pull open their jaw, insert pill and clamp mouth shut... tickle throat and then everyone is happy :)

Ginny resembles the last picture, with her angry face. And that is when she is in one of her better moods  ;)

Forget the blasted cat... the neighbors are upset with me for passing on your advice to wrap the dog in bacon and toss it in the air! Their dog -- in fact their entire place and themslves, as well -- is totally greased. However, about 10 ounces of bacon are stuck to the dog's back and the other 30 pounds are in the dog -- he's getting too heavy and slippery to lift, let alone toss.
Thanks a lot, Rom!

What, you got the Bumpass's living next door with their pack of hound dogs....lmao.

Watch out this Christmas they don't steal your turkey and you don't end up at a Chinese restaurant eating duck and listening to "Deck the Harrs Wit Balls of Harwee". If watch a Christmas Story one one time, I swear my wife will make the video go the way the leg lamp did.... ;)

No worry, the turkeys live two doors down on the same side -- and they're just foolish enough to duck into any restaurant, anyway.

I own 4 indoor and 2 outdoor cats. I prefer beer to scotch. Other than that very true. Look at getting another tattoo from my left wrist all the way up my forearm from a little incedent I had with one of my younger cats a year ago ;D ;D ;D
