    That's great - I have to give one of my cats a pill every few days so I crush it and mix it with canned food and he eats it right up. Of course I have to give some to the other 2 cats also, but it's easier that going the catchhimandforceitdownhim routine.

    My old roommate and I had a cat that needed hairball medicine (a gooey brown substance). Faithfully we would fight with the cat every night to put it on her tongue -- I would hold the cat and he would try opening her mouth and wiping off some of the goo. Many wounds are still to be found and much time was wasted.

    A couple years later my wife and I needed to do the same goo with the same cat... On a whim, I read the directions and put some on my finger. The cat licked it right off. Boy, did I feel like a doofus. [beat]

    A good trick (if they don't like the taste) is to wipe it on the front of their paw..... they can't stand it being on there and will lick it off. You have to be careful though.... if you leave it globbed up on it's paw, a single "flick" and you've got hairball remedy projectiles flying across the house and sticking to the walls.

    We had an epeleptic cat (eveloped after it tried to dive in the bowl while the dog was eating...oops) that had to get a pill every day or he would uncontrolably chase his rump when he went into siezures. Fortunatly he was mellow enouph (or just spaced out enouph) that MO Titmouse was able to just stuff it down his throat without much of a fight.

    Our dogs arent bad for pills but they HATE when I have to worm them. I generaly use the old fashioned farm meathod. Bite a small chunk off a plug of tobacco and get it chewed up and wet then spit the whole mess down the dogs throat followed by a nice dose of castor oil... I think they actualy prefer when we can aford to take them to the vet for it, temp takeing and all. LOL

    MM remind me never to need to be wormed at your house. Haha.

    As far as the difference between cats and dogs, that is by far the truth. In my life so far I have been bitten by a dog and by cats. A friend asked me which was the worse and I will have to say the cats. He asked why and I pointed out the obvious. Dogs have teeth and claws. As any cat owner knows, kitties come with needles and razors. Haha.

    Worse fight I had with a cat, worse than bathtime, was when I removed a wolf worm from my cat. It took two people to hold the howling razor whirlwind while I removed the parasite that didn't want to leave. It was a crazy experience, though after I had cleaned the area and disposed of the worm, she loved me again. Haha.

    Now you know why we keep an "emergency backup cat". The old buggers are a lot more understanding when they see a replacement standing behind them.

    BTW, two of our cats were upstairs one time playing with a paper shopping bag with a handle attached. Somehow, the smaller one was inside the bag when the other one got the handle over his head, spooking him.
    All we know is a cat came down stairs with a bag thumping behind him.
    He never should have stopped, the smaller female was PISSED. Had to keep them seperated for a month, for his protection.

    No cats for me. I try to learn from other people's mistakes. And that is why I have a dog...to keep the cats away.

    I have cats to keep the dogs away!
    ( really BIG cats!)
    Trouble with either is:
    Dogs get mad at you, and they chew up your shoes, or bite you...!
    Cats get mad at you, and they POOP on your pillow!
    Cats are sneaky, vicious, and onery...I love that in an animal!
    ( reminds me of a wife I had, once!)

    :lol: I've often said that if I had a cat, I'd have to name it Kibble, because that's what it would be to my dog.

    When my daughter got two hamsters, I suggested the names Lunch & Midnight snack. She went with Fuzzy Wazzy & Woodchuck.
    One night Fuzzy Wazzy escaped, with the help of Emergency Back-up Cat. She thought she was eaten, but I noticed how interested the cat was in the undeside of the sofa. We later spoted the hamster near the dishwasher, scampering under the cabinet everytime anything got close. I had to remove the dishwasher to retrieve it, quite unharmed from the ordeal.
    The hamsters no longer live on the table but under it.

    For those of you with Rabbits, I found a really easy way to get them to take dewormer pastes.

    First of all, If you have to treat With Ivermectin, skip over the $35 injectable, and just go for the $6 horse paste. Treats 1500 pound of horse, so as far as rabbits... goes a LONG way.

    Anyway, take a popsicle stick and just slap a dab onto their front paws.
    They'll immediately start licking ALL of it off.
    I tried holding them / prying mouths open etc. Gave up after my arms started looking like Bruce Lee's chest in Game of Death.
