This is too funny!!!…and too true!!! I’ve had the experience before of administering pills to my kitties and once to a very large French Lop rabbit. The cats are much more difficult to deal with.

Thankfully, I didn’t have to give up and trade my babies in for hamsters though…which I’ve also had before, too, along with chinchillas, gerbils, mice, rats, dogs, more rabbits, guniea pigs…I forget the rest…:>

Yep! I’m an animal lover…especially cats!

We just rescued a kitten 3 weeks ago- and trying to give her liquid anitbiotics was amusing! How you get all that fight into a 1.25 lb kitten is beyond me! Our other 3 cats are all big (15-20 lbs) so giving them stuff when needed is not easy. We have one very anti-social cat of the bunch and there are some members of the family who have never seen her.

Our 3 dogs are all amsuing in so many ways. The kitten has no problems “attacking” them and wrestling with them. Cant’ wait to see what she does when she gets bigger. She is now up to 3lbs and never stops. The dogs get cheese every morning and evening, two of them get it with pills and the 3rd one is in training in case he has to. Makes it easy. We just yell “cheese time!” and they are right there for it and their treats after.

I love my animals!

Loved it!! I laughed my a** off reading that! Cheese works good too for dogs. Mine are cheese junkies! I swear they can hear the plastic rattle on a piece of sliced cheese and damn near beat you to the kitchen..

I don’t have any pets these days but I do pet/house sitting for three couples so I get my pet fix! :dogrun: The pets I am currently taking care of are 1 dog of very mixed breed & two cats that spend a great deal of time sleeping! The dog used to take a two pills daily, you just concealed them in peanut butter & he always took them without problems. Another dog that I take care that is growing older has to have some medication daily that is in a syringe, he is pretty good about it. It is not a shot, you just squirt the meds into his mouth & he swallows. I have both cats & dogs which are very different animals!! Thank heavens I’ve never had to give a cat a pill! Great funny!!

I am a dog person all the way. It’s tough, because Bruce always loved cats, and I tried to make myself into a cat person, but it just didn’t work. Our two experiments with cat ownership failed miserably.

We are now in our 9th year of having a dog as a member of our family, and honestly couldn’t imagine life without her. (Or without the little hyper brat we brought home 2 years ago!)

PS: Caroline, I agree:

Cats are the brainboxes.
Dogs are the hearts.

Cats pretend to like you. At least until you feed them.

Dogs love you all the time.

Watching my 10 pound cat bully my Newfoundland dogs? She *pwns* them completely!

I’m headed to FL tomorrow so will likely be scarce! Will try to stay up with the posts, if not comments.

Our dogs spit it out of the cheese or ham that we give them… for both our cat and dogs, we have to smash the pills and place them in their wet dog/cat food…
