When I was giving allergy meds to one of my cats, I used them... I was in the vet's office and she asked, "Do you think you can make him take a pill?" I jokingly replied, "Maybe if it tastes like salmon!" And the Dr goes, well, actually...
Turns out even the pill pocket doesn't taste good enough for him
I think he can tell I'm up to something. What I ended up doing to make him take his meds was to take half a Pill Pocket, a cat treat, and a pill, and use the Pill Pocket as glue to make the pill stick to the treat.
He ate them that way.
We humans are pretty tricky people...
