I have quit counting the number of times I have failed to get medication into my cat. This was my last try. I bought a pouch of cat treats that are crunchy outside and soft inside. There may have been a big neon light bulb over my head in the grocery store when I discovered Temptations JUMBOStuff! Surely no cat could resist a tasty and crunchy morsel stuffed with savory salmon.
I could hardly wait to get home to feed the cat. I carefully broke one of the morsels in half, scraped out the filling and put in less than 1/4 of a pill. Then I put the “pill” in with the other regular dry cat food. And yes, I am aware of how ridiculous I must look to an observer.
I will not keep you in suspense any longer. The picture at the left shows the “disguised” medication. The one at the right is the result.
P.S. – I’ll bet ANY other cat would have gobbled down the Temptations snack. This in no reflection on the product. I just wish the DEA could hire my cat. Clearly she can sniff out drugs no matter how they are disguised.
My dog could be on your cat’s DEA team. The only thing that works for him is a pill hidden inside a big wad of cream cheese.
I would be thrilled to use cream cheese! Getting a tiny pill in this cat is a 2-person job. And even then, no easy trick!
Oh my, this hit home. For most of our almost 45 years of marriage, we’ve been cat owners/servants and well know how much fun it is to get medication into them. Good luck!
We are servants indeed!
