I got speculoos at Trader Joe's today! Um, what am I supposed to do with it, again? I also got fresh figs and prosciutto. I do know what to do with them.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dagnabbit -- the cat is on to me, and has begun to eat the treat around the pill. Would a pill pocket actually help with that? I've been smushing them pretty well around the tiny half-pill. I cannot deal with getting his mouth open.

Pill pockets work a charm on one of my cats but not the other, it all depends on how much they like the pill pockets.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have the TJ's speculoos, too, flea, and I'm not sure what to do with it. I tried spreading it on crackers and eating it, and that was good, but now I'm out of crackers. So that's an option, I guess.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
When I had to pill my cat it was awful, and my cat hated me. The only way I could do it was wrapping her in a towel, prying her mouth open, and holding her mouth closed and up until I was sure it was swallowed.
She was so mad at me, she would literally look at me, turn her back, and lay down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can you syringe to get the pill in the cat?
Or I've read of getting the pill in the cat and then squirting water in the cat's mouth to get them to swallow.

Yeah, that bums me out! I should try harder, though -- he's pretty easy, generally.

lisah, for future reference, the cafe in my workplace offers visitor access, and has relatively comfy seating and outlets. Parking is a bit of an issue (paid lot up top or the Carnegie lot down the way) but he could have someone drop him off. If I knew he was there, I could meet him for lunch.
Mmmph. I'm full and ...full. Brian gave me a call as I was leaving for the pool and so after, he picked me up for beer(wine for me) and burgers at the Dizz. And then more wine, because he kept ordering another round. And then sweet potato fries. And then red velvet cake, I guess from Charm City Cakes (ace of cakes?) It was really good. And I have laundry to put away.
The humidity is killer right now. So glad you got power, lisah

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Can you syringe to get the pill in the cat?
Cut the top off of a needle-less syringe, put a little treat or wet food in, put the pill on top, put a little more treat or wet food over it and use syringe to get pill into cat.
I would think this method only works for cats where trying to shove a pill pocketed pill into their mouths gets you bit. Because they bite syringe instead. But it's cats, who knows what will work.
