Heh, I have a pill shooter for my cat that needs to take prozac daily.

I work as a vet tech.. I'm used to shoving things in animals mouths. Okay, squat down and sit your cat between your legs (not sitting on your cat obviously!).. she should be facing the same way as you. The main thing cats do is they back up when they want to get away.. being that she is held between your legs she cannot go anywhere. apply some pressure with your knees. Grasp your cats lower jaw with your thumb and forefinger, pull down GENTLY while also trying to aim your cats head upwards.

Do not stick your fingers in the cats mouth, but push the pill in all the way to the back of her throat, then quickly close her mouth and gently grasp your hand around her muzzle so she cannot open her mouth. Blow a little air into her face to make her take a big gulp. Then rub her throat a bit to make sure it's gone down.

Once you are sure it has gone down, say all the nicest things you can say to a cat.. pet her.. give her a treat. Do NOT at any point get angry with the cat. They will sense it and get ANGRIER. just keep talking in a happy tone even if the cat wants to kill you.

Last step is to count to make sure you still have all your fingers, and examine yourself in a mirror to ensure the cat has not ripped any body parts off xD


Dewormers do come in liquids though by the way! Depending on where you live of course.
