    Good luck. Why can’t they just eat a tablet in tuna or ham like a dog would? It’s always ‘lose two fingers and an eye’ every time 😖

    I’m thinking about changing my cats to injectable flea treatment as they are a nightmare with the back of the neck stuff. The youngest cat always has a reaction and gets a bald patch. Depends on how costly though 🤔

    @WinterWarrior Our Labrador didn’t even need to have the tablet hidden in anything. We just told him it was a sweetie, said “ooh sweetie” a couple of times and then threw the tablet in the air. It was gone with one snap. 

    @Sun_Addict our half Burmese cat (not with us any more) could twist right round to lick the back of the neck stuff. I had to hold a squirming cat with a foaming mouth under the tap in the bathroom sink the first time we used it. That was the end of that…

    Generally speaking Labradors are a doddle to get anything food-like into - although we did have one that was the exception to the rule years ago and used to regard anything vaguely "unusual" with deep suspicion. He also really disliked anything squishy in texture - would avoid tomatoes as though they were going to bite him, and happily ate ice cream from a spoon as a human would - ie using his lips, not his teeth! 

    As for getting pills into a cat - that is one thing I definitely do not miss now we no longer own a cat...!

    The injection was more expensive but I feel that both I and the cat need a break from tablets.  As the weather is so vile I went to the Strangeburys local next door to the vets for my top up shop. £15.50 spent so the total this week is £75.59 - that's 59p of the 89p surplus from last month used 😄 I know that it's a more expensive shop but the saving in terms of my time tomorrow morning makes it totally worth it as a one off. 

    I spent the day with best friend again. The plus side of that is that I've made a baby blanket for a friend of the HT (not a teenager, it's someone who used to play with him when he was small to give me a rest) who has not long had a baby. I started it when the work on BF's house started and I have finished it today. 

    The HT had a toastie for his evening meal tonight. It was a ready made one from the frozen food shop but even though it is more expensive than making one myself I am trying to encourage him to be more independant. He can't cut things very well (hypermobile very bendy fingers) and because he is clumsy the hot toastie maker worries him but he's ok with the microwave and said that his dinner was lovely. I had left over lasagne from last night. 

    Take care all of you 😊

    Labradors and food...a colleague once made 150 cup cakes for an event.  She left them within reach of her lab...cupcakes gone.  Yup, all 150.  How the dog survived the vet wasn't sure but survive he did. Onwards and upwards love Humdinger xx
