If you mix it with Laxatone - the Laxatone coats the stomach so the pill won't be absorbed.

Can you put the cat on a counter at your height and open his mouth with one hand and put the pill in the back of his mouth with the other and close his mouth until he swallows? Just make up your mind that you CAN do it! The cat needs the medicine for his bladder infection!! If you don't have a positive mindset - the cat will know it!

The crushed up pills are very bitter. If you must go this way, I suggest not crushing the pill - put the pill in a small amount of Fancy Feast and sprinkle Lysine for Cats on top - the Lysine masks the smell of the pill. Lysine is good for the cat anyway.
