Misty's medicines are in liquid form, so I have to give it to him from a syringe, straight into his mouth. He hates the antibiotics, but the painkiller must taste nice because he likes that. He bit the end off one syringe, so I had to get a few spares just in case. His teeth must be sharp
We had to give my sister's cat pills when we were young - I guess I was 12 or 13, she was 3 years older and so confident she knew what to do - spread out a towel, place cat on towel, wrap cat... By that point the cat was behind the TV, refusing to come out. I ended up doing the medicating because she was worried she'd hurt her cat. It was a bit chaotic! Grab cat, bundle it up in a towel, prise its mouth open, shove pill in, make cat swallow, unwrap cat and escape before cat takes revenge. It was hilarious trying to outwit her, though I don't think Pom Pom the cat would have agreed. She was pretty wild at the best of times, hard to catch and uncooperative.
I wanted to be a vet back then, but in hindsight, I don't think I would have been very good at it. Probably a good thing I ended up as a librarian - books don't fight back!
