e meds
okay, so as I said before, we've had a flea problem. we've given my cat baths, fogged the house (twice!), got some s*** for the lawn, and everything you can think of. except going to a vet and getting exterminator help
so I chose the vet route and surprisingly, flea stuff isn't too expensive! 20 bucks for a pill and some goo you put on the cat
but yea, theres the problem. my cat is the pickiest eater ever. she only eats this generic brand cat food from a specific store. all of her life. doesn't like anything else >_>
and I knew if I just stuck the pill in her normal bowl, she would not eat it
I started brainstorming and remembered that when I first found her, I bought her this wet canned food all of the time before I decided to keep her, and she ate the crap out of that stuff
so banking on that she would get on a nostalgic trip, I bought a can. I cut the pill in 3 pieces and took a spoonful of the catfood and put it on a napkin for her, and presented it to her (god damn shes spoiled)
I watched her for a minute, she was smelling it, AND SHE STARTED EATING IT
ODE OF JO.......wait
then she F***ING SPITS OUT THE GOD DAMN PILL
all 3 chunks. its like she gathered them up in her mouth and collectively ridded herself of them.
so I tried it again
SAME THING
then I started reasoning with her. I was talking to her and asking her to please eat what I give her, she wasn't taking it. well, not the way I wanted it
since the flea infestation, I have to admit, I've been neglecting her. I feel bad, but I won't let her cuddle up next to me or let her stay in the same room as me for very long. I just pet her several times a day and thats it. =(
so all of this time we were spending together, she was eating it up, and not the pill!
I then grabbed the cat food, got down on my belly, grabbed a pinch full with my hand, and put the pills into it. and presented it to her while still in my hand
she started purring and started rubbing against my face a couple of times, she just wanted love! but dammit, I'm trying to be serious here!
but the same thing happened
she ate it, managed to collect the pill pieces and spat them back in my hand.
we did this for an hour.
there was still a spoonful of food left, but she finally ate the pill.
The things I do for my little kitty >_>
I think she was doing this on purpose. I mean, I think she knew the pill wasn't normal and she meant to spit it out, but I mean she was probably purposely not eating it to draw out our time together!
I've never had to give her a pill before, is there an easier way to do this?
