Day 4, Round 1....goes to Cow....sobs

As of 5.10am until now, I have failed to catch Cow to put him into the carrier.  He's elusive and ferocious at the same time....


Here he is, so near and yet so far.

There's no way I could catch him this morning.  I tried, and he went totally ballistic, claws and jaws.  

Looks like Plans B, C and D won't even work because they all require me to put Cow into the carrier.  Now, I cannot even get him into the carrier.  Well, so much for contingency plans....

Looks like the Cow has the last laugh....

I concede defeat as of 6.20am.  But wait...the morning is not over yet.

Help, people....

How now, Cow?

Oh dear Cow, please be good & nice to your Mama. The medicine is for your own good.

I'm really curious on how fierce Cow is. Is it possible to post a small video during medicine feeding time?

When my cat refuse to eat his medicine, a/d or i/d, I'll wrap him up in a bath towel, just like how we wrap a newborn baby. It work for me mostly ^_^ I have no choice but to do it this way, cos I don't have assistant to help me :(

Can Cow smell out the smell of the pill? I was like you in the beginning too when I was trying out how to feed Ginger her kidney disease pill. Got some scratch marks on my arm to prove it too lol. But turned out the solution was pretty pain-free and simple, I just plop the pill into her food and she will eat it eventually. She sometimes will make some gagging-like motions when she ate the pill (by accident?) but she will swallow it down because she most probably have a kibble or some catfood along with the pill when she's eating. :)

Hi Jessy and Alex,

Thanks very much. The wrap-with-towel trick doesn't work with Cow coz he is just too fast and too strong. Just how fierce he is? Well, a set of teeth and claws from four very strong legs and a brain that reacts REAL fast.

Alex, the pill in food doesn't work with all my cats because they can smell it out and will eat everything except the bit that has the medicine.

ha ha....I did it this afternoon. Wait...will post.

thanks,
ky

Mesh the pill into powder form and mix with baby food (meat paste type should be the best). Then dab the baby food onto his lips or on parts of his body you know he would definitely lick off for his sanity-sake (like front paw).
