'Conviction (1)'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
FUCKYDUCKY!
We wound up doing actual battle with my poor kitty, and were UTTERLY UNSUCCESSFUL in giving him one, JUST ONE, pill.
So, now I'm going to have to pack him back in the carrier, and take him back to the vet, but the vet says they'll give us a pill giving weapon, and show me how to use it.
{Sean} Good luck with the pill giving weapon.
oi, Sean! One of the joys of pet ownership. Remember, in pill giving, SHOW NO MERCY. He needs the meds even if it makes him unhappy to be wrangled.
Remember, in pill giving, SHOW NO MERCY.
Showing no mercy to the cat is not a problem. The problem is him showing no mercy to us.

My cat mauled me and I wasn't even trying to give her a pill. Cats do not understand mercy. Nope. Not at all.
Sean, I've been pilling cats for 25ish years now. I find that speed of action is best, but of course you can't really be fast until you've done it successfully a few times so you know what will work on that cat. I have great confidence in my cat-pilling abilities - if it were practical to do so, I would offer to come by and do the deed for you. That said, this cute little spaz of a Sammie - I am pretty sure there is no way that I will ever successfully medicate her. Unless they come up with a line of medications made from chicken, that taste like chicken, smell like chicken, and feel like chicken.
Dammit, Andi! I don't care how far it is, get over here!
Wrapping the cat in a big towel sometimes offers much protection.
Ok that wasn't such great advice I needed to give it twice.
But yeah, Sean, I'll just leave a note for Daniel, and call my boss, and I'll be on my way....
