I have a cat that is nearly ten years old who was in need of medication. He is a big stubborn old cat and very difficult to handle when he doesn't want to do something. The first tablet I tried to give him following the approved method of putting the tablet far to the back of the tongue and the holding the mouth closed. It didn't work. I retrieved the pill and tried hiding it in his food, and that didn't work.
Today I got the next pill out and crushed it (powdered it), and then I mixed it with cheese spread and smeared it on his foreleg and left him to it. A few minutes later I checked him. He had cleaned himself and in the process had taken the medication.

My kitty won't take her pills. There is no way I can run her down, wrap her in a towel and force a pill down her throat twice a day.
For those of you that have a hard time giving a pill to your cat, this works beautifully.
Instead of taking the time to sit on my cat and shove his worm medicine down his throat time and time again, I did this.
