Default 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?


Essentially the trick to pill a cat is to put the pill in the throat and
then blow on its nose. This makes the cat swallow.
