Cat news

Tusse keeps getting better, but it seems that he's managed to lick his wound despite the e-collar. I put a tighter one on him and hope that will be enough. Tomorrow we're taking him for a checkup at the vet's; if he's still able to get at the wound I should think they'll have something that works better.

I've found the perfect way of giving him pills. If I just put it in his mouth he manages to spit it out - he did that twice today. So what I do is I prepare the cat food he likes - then I give him the pill before putting the food bowl down. At that point he's so eager to get at the food that he just swallows the pill and rushes at the bowl.

I don't think that'd work with the other two...

I hope Tusse will be well soon.

One of my LJ friends wrote that she put the pill in the mouth of the cat and then petted the throat of the cat and the cat automatic swallowed the pill. Maybe this will work for you too?

I did that the first time, but he started chewing air and getting a lot of foam around hismouth, so I don't think it's a good idea for this particular cat. But I know it works for many other cats.
