A new method of feeding pills to cats?
My trick is simple: I dip the pill and my fingers in cooking oil
before medicating the cat. This achieves two things: 1. the oily pill goes down the throat fast and does not get stuck on the tongue 2. the cat's muzzle gets oily from my fingers and he starts licking his chops right away, and that prevents him from spitting the pill out. Is this a novel trick? |

I do warm up the can before feeding it but I don't give them the whole
can at one time. Tiger would wolf it down, steal Ambers and then throw up. I dole out about half the can between two cats and then refill as they eat it. During the winter, I keep a can propped up on the baseboard heat so it is always warm at meal time. I use warm water when the furnace is not on. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Tiger would wolf it down... ouch I just put two cans out they are done by nightfall then they get two more cans...a little is left by morning and they don't throw it up. Im pretty sure no-one has ever tapped into the potential of just how bad you can spoil a cat..(im not saying you've done this to yours) but Im thinking you have to spoon feed them? tell the truth |

My cats both eat too fast and toss it all up at least twice a week. I think Mike has a good idea here, at least for cats that wolf their food! |
