Give a cat a pill (new method)

The vet prescribed daily tablets for our geriatric cat and after several battles my husband devised a way to give her the medication. It involved wrapping the cat in a towel, trapping her between his knees, forcing her mouth open and the positioning the pill on the back of her tongue.

He was proud of his resourcefulness until one hectic session when he lost control of both the cat and the medicine. The cat leaped out of his grasp, paused to inspect the tablet, which had rolled across the floor, and then ate it.
