Use a pill shooter, if you dont already have one

That way you can put all the little 1/2 and 1/4 tablets into it, and it is one ‘shot’ down the throat with a pill shooter.

I also set my cell phone alarms to remind me when it is time to pill the cat.  I have the daily pill sorter box, and will spend time every other week, prepping all the meds.

You can do this. Your cat will get accustomed to it. I crouch on the floor with my cat between my legs (so she can’t squirm out backwards), hold her head and open her mouth with one hand, and use the pill shooter to shoot it down her throat. The first couple of days might be a little tricky, till you get the hang of it, but pretty soon your cat will be all nonchalant about it, like “ oh that again.”

Good luck!
