In the past we have had cats who a)would invariably eat a pill wrapped in a cursory bit of ham or similar without noticing. b)required two adults in gardening gloves to wrap her in an old towel, open her mouth, shove it down hard and clamp her mouth and nose shut until it was a choice of swallow or smother. Though when faced with a vet, you'd think she had a flip-top head. Open my mouth, why sure, how wide would you like it? c)would deign to eat a pill if it came in a dollop of anchovy paste. Until the fine day when he worked out that he could suck the anchovy paste off and spit the tablet back at you. When he'd done this five times in a row, we resorted to the gardening gloves and old towel routine. The next time, he didn't do the sucking and spitting.
