If you look close enough, you can see the jubilation just aching to be expressed!!
Boog, on the other hand, was not so lucky. Neither, I should add, were my arms and legs, as I am sure I will develop Cat Scratch Fever in the next few days!!!
So, i started the challenge with one and a half pills to give him, 3 pieces total. After wrestling around and being scratched almost to the point of scarring, I finally got him to swallow 2 of the 3 pieced... Or so I thought..... "All gone Mom!!!"
So, I relaxed, figuring we'll tackle the 3rd piece a little later, give the poor little guy some rest!!
Until I came across this......
And, this......
Apparently, my little Booger has resorted to what we like to refer to in my industry as "Cheeking his meds." As soon as I was relaxed, he skulked off to spit out the very stuff that was supposed to relieve him of his annoying worms! Luckily, after a long talk, and some nice sweet icing coated pills, he reluctantly took his medicine, and the evening went on with no further incident!!!
Thought to ponder: Is there really such thing as a cat "owner"?
Ah..the joys of giving a cat his medicine..the liquid is even worse..hope you heal and that your kittys get better

True, true......great post....I had such a mental picture of that "debacle". Dogs are so much easier......yummmy peanut butter pills!!!
Nice story! I give my little black dog his medicine rolling on the floor a slice of ham with the pill inside. He usually believes it has got out of hand,and when I try to pick it up he...slurp!
