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.

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.

Interesting app on how you're being tracked as you e-read.

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

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.

I have extra Buffista coolness, because I spent the day with Betsy! We had a lovely time: drove to the coast through beautiful windy mountains, had lunch in Pescadero, and hit all the quaint little shops there. And a goat farm, which had awesome cheeses. And then she showed me her rooted Kindle, which looks interesting.

And now I am home and disinclined to cook. So I'm drinking a margarita and roasting a couple of beets and in an hour or so I will have a beet-and-goat-cheese salad.

OK, I'm going to try harder to shove it into his mouth. I'm guessing if I can figure out how to do it, he'll get used to it. I watched videos online, but it looks so easy there!

I got much closer to getting the pill into his mouth, but eventually it went flying, so I got a new one and tried it in a treat again, and he just ate it! So maybe if I traumatize him enough first, he doesn't notice that the treat is dosed. Whatever, cat.
