Anyone who has had a sick pet knows that at one time or another, they will put up some resistance when it comes time to give them their medicine. I mean, even humans resist, and they know it’s good for them!
This particular story has been circulating the internet for years and explains step-by-step the differences between how to give your cat a pill and how to give one to your dog. I’m sure many pet parents will identify with this in one way or another!
How to Give Your Cat a Pill...
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. As cat opens mouth, pop pill in mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
2) Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.
3) Retrieve cat from bedroom and throw soggy pill away.
4) Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm, holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.
5) Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.
6) Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paw. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat’s throat vigorously.
7) Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.
8) Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.
9) Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink 1 beer to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse’s forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.
10) Retrieve cat from neighbor’s shed. Get another pill. Open another beer. Place cat in cupboard and close door on to neck, to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.
11) Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Drink beer. Fetch bottle of scotch. Pour shot, drink. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss another shot. Throw Tee shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.
12) Call fire department to retrieve the damn cat from across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil wrap.
13) Tie the little bastard’s front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy-duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of filet steak. Be rough about it.
Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.
14) Consume remainder of scotch. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.
15) Arrange for SPCA to collect mutant cat from Hell and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

I knew there was SOME reason I’ve never had a cat! 😁
No thanks on cats. Been there …. Won’t do that. Once scratched twice shy.
Hi,
I taught my three cats to hold still and let me trim nails every two weeks or so. No struggle no biting, no fuss. I hold the cat in my lap, pull out his limb a bit. Then push down on the pads. The claws will stick out one at a time as you press the pad for that claw. Then trim with nail scissors. The trick is to acclimate them when young. I hold and tickle their paws as kittens so they are used to it. Takes about 5 minutes per cat as they have 18 claws.
Best way to give pills. Coat the pill with lard. Cats love the taste. You still have to pop it into their mouth but once in they very rarely spit it out. Much easier than pill pockets or some concoction in a tube that was so sticky (supplied by the vet) that you couldn’t get the pill off your finger after putting it in their mouth.

That is funny. on a serious note, We watch a VET program who is called The Amazing Dr. POL. How he does it with cats is poke it down its throat like described, then he quickly blows hard on it's nose. Works a high % of the time. the blowing, startles it and usually causes it to swallow.
Many many years ago, I had my guys in stitches telling them about sitting naked in an enclosed tub giving my two cats a bath!
Very funny and highly resembles the truth.
