    Talking Not ff-How to give a cat a pill!

    How to Give a Cat a Pill:


    1) Pick cat up 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 into
    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 paws. 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.

    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 onto 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
    back another shot. Throw Tee shirt away
    and fetch new one from bedroom.


    12) Call fire department to retrieve the
    $#%$&*#$ cat from tree 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 bast***'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
    steak filet. 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 remove 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......

    Lengthy, but funny.

    My contribution, I did not make this one up, but in a similar vein:

    Giving a cat a bath

    1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
    2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.
    3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
    4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).
    CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find.
    5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power wash and rinse' which I have found to be quite effective.
    6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
    7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
    8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.

    Sincerely,

    The Dog

    Thumbs up

    I have both given cats pills and baths, neither was fun,

    I still have the memory locked in my mind of wearing my horsehide welding gloves and holding the cat down in the bathtub while my mom shampooed and rinsed that cat.

    This method actually works well:

    1. Place a window screen on top of the kitchen sink
    2. Stand the cat on the screen
    3. Squirt cat in the face with the spray nozzle.

    The cat grabs the screen with all claws and can't get them loose until it relaxes, or you pry each foot off.

    4. Have your way with the cat. Shampoo, rinse, repeat, towel dry, blow dry, and unhook the cat.

    The cat pill method that actually works:
    Take two teaspoons and crush the pill between them to a fine powder.
    Add very small amount of cream cheese and mix with the powder.
    With you finger genlty rub the mixture on the "inside" of cat's front paw.
    Cat will "clean" the paw.

    Rarely can you say that.
    "Have your way with the cat."

    I'm very impressed.

    After the first time I gave our cat a pill I decided it is now on its own and will have to fight off disease and infection by itself.
    For God's sake, Don't Quote me! I'm Probably making this crap up!
