Giving Medicine to a cat

Catslovelycats

I know this post is old but I have had experience of difficult times medicating a cat. Try putting the tablet in sardines in tomato sauce. It doesn't always work, but usually does! More successful than chicken.

I thought of this thread after a conversation this morning with my wife.

Our cats get fed a few dry cat treats (mix of dreamies, dental and furball) at lunchtime and wet food on an evening.

Our eldest boy doesn't eat wet food so he gets fed a few dry treats at the same time.

Because he's getting on a bit, we have replaced his dried treats on an evening with standard cat food designed to help him health wise.

The daft sod eats them up like they were treats and is smug that he's getting rewarded. If we put them in the food bowl he wouldn't eat them.

Mnoee

One of mine is exactly the same! Dry food on the floor, perfect, gone in seconds. In a bowl? He'll moan for hours about how he's going to die of starvation before eating them. I concluded that he just doesn't like a mess.
