    HOW TO GIVE A CAT A PILL

    A friend sent this today and even though we don't have a cat, I thought about a few cat people on the Forum ...eg Derek. You might be able to relate to this.......

    HOW TO GIVE A CAT A PILL....

    If you've ever had a cat, you will know just how true this is!

    1. Pick up cat 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.

    8. 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 a 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 damn cat from
    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 sucker'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 fillet steak. 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 removes pill
    remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way
    home to order new table.

    15. Arrange for RSPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

    How To Give A Dog A Pill.....

    1. Wrap it in bacon.

    2. Toss it in the air.



    That's what I like about dogs!!!

    I remember my dad once told me a story of when he was a kid (in the '70s). His dad used to be the local GP and also the vet, one of the hardest things my old man did was hold down a cat while it was being castrated

    You'd have trouble holding me down as well, if you were trying to castrate me, LOL, Regards Frank.

    I must live with the cat whisperer then. SWMBO can take her cat, lay it on her lap, open it's mouth and scrape the plaque of it's teeth without it it even flinching. I couldn't beleive it when she showed me as most people I know that have cats get the things knocked out at the vets for this sort of stuff.

    ps. I still think they should be used as crab bait.

    I love that description.

    The worrying thing is I got a fair way down the list before I got to something that hadn't happened with my cat.

    Hey Erich, I can relate to all of that. We have 2 cats, 1 is fine to get pills into but the other is almost impossible. Have experienced almost all of the situations mentioned. Gave it a dose of flea repellant one day,on the back of the neck and then it ran around foaming at the mouth for about an hour after that while the other one calmly lay down watching the performance. Like chalk and cheese, the two of them........Brian

    G'day Folks

    After having our cat for 9 years,"Usama-Bin-Laden-Bin-Pussing-Salami" and living in a tick area, he has become used to having his "Proban" tablet every 2 days, lost count of the dead and dieing ticks we have removed from him, him, and the dogs are "Probaned" every 2 days, it is calculated by weight, has saved $hundreds in vet bills


    cheers
