That's her big brother's approach. Unfortunately Sugar Puff, while usually the sweetest and most loving of creatures, gets her mad up if she thinks anyone is invading HER jungle, and goes to defcom 9 in a millisecond! She swallowed her first pill this morning without protest - maybe because James (her favourite person in all the world!) held her for me. She's now out making sure the 'garden' (a mad jungle at present!) hasn't been stolen! The good wishes are much appreciated. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Why do they make cat antibiotics so unpalettable? Hodges hairball
laxitive is so tasty he loves it! DD used to hide Fred's daily heart pills in the middle of a cheese tasting treat and he would queue up for his pill! I have always found that when we have had a male and fremale cat, the female has been the best hunter, and altogether the most efficient cat! The males, either with female or on their own have been more slob-like! (Exception is DD's current cat, Barney, Fred's brother - Fred was the slob out of those two!) Read somewhere that lionesses do most of the hunting, and that the lions prefer a free meal, only hunting when they have to. Mia is definitely the most independent and cleverer of our two kittens - got the body language just right so that Hodge likes her best! Kiwi just bumbles along behind her and Hodge is only just begining to accept him. He got the body language all wrong in the beginning - waved his paw at Hodge instead of giving him the required respect as senior cat. They all send their best wishes to Sugar Puff - kittens from the garden chasing butterflies, and Hodge from his bed! -- Sally at the Seaside ~~~~~~~~~~ (uk) http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin On Tue, 08 Aug 2006 11:52:03 +0100, Kate Dicey wrote: Erin wrote: Kate Dicey wrote: AKK!

... dratted indeed! but this evening, after a day of enforced rest, she is MUCH better! I'm dreading pilling her tomorrow! Kate - my vet has these treat-thingies for pilling the critters. Look like a hollowed-out piece of sausage, lg for dogs, small for cats. Put the pill in the middle and feed like a treat. I haven't used them, but I'd guess they'd work, esp. for the dog. Maybe not so much for the cat, depending on whether the cat is used to being hand-fed treats. Worth a look-see, if SP bites when being pilled. -- TerriLee in WA (state) remove the cats to reply http://community.webshots.com/myphot...umID=548330161 |

I think the trick is for James to hold her. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

He got the body language all wrong in the beginning - waved his paw at Hodge instead of giving him the required respect as senior cat. Sugar Puff doesn't range as far and hunts smaller game than Cornflake. he's had rats, a pigeon or two, blackbirds and sparrows on the wing... All sorts! With her it's usually mice, shrews, spiders, bits of moss... They all send their best wishes to Sugar Puff - kittens from the garden chasing butterflies, and Hodge from his bed! At present Cornflake is snuggled in TWO quilts on the sofa, and sugar Puff thanks you from her throne on the chair! -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

A couple of things that have worked for me in the past with
various feline patients. Butter - either hard and moulded around the pill or softened and mixed with ground up pill Pill Popper - sounds horrible but the vet in Canberra gave me one and it was like a tiny pill holder on a stick so you could place the pill at the back of the cat's throat without risk to life and limb (well without risk to fingers at least LOL I was once hospitalised by a cat bite on the hand, although the bite was from breaking up a fight not administering a pill, and the 8 days in hospital had more to do with the utter incompetence of the doctor than the actual bite) Nutrient - I usually keep a tube of a food supplement that I get from the vet handy now. This stuff is thick (like very thick molasses) and strong smelling and designed to encourage appetite in ailing cats. Squeeze a dot on the finger and the cats push each other out of the way to lick it off. If they get this just occasionally, when I need to give a tablet embedding it in this stuff and offering it to just the patient is relatively easy. They are so anxious to bolt it down before the others come running that I rarely get a pill spat back out at me. I am out of it ATM so I can't give you a name, and it would be different over there anyway. But I have found that the trick is to pre-convince them all that something is a special treat and that if they don't bolt it down (pill and all) the others will steal it.

Most cars I've had have just swallowed the pills first time. This one, our only girl, just HAS to be different! Stuffing it in with a finger while James holds her seems to be working: it's also over very fast, so less stressful for all of us! Good luck with Sugar Puff (aka Ghengis Kitten) Thanks!

Turns out I am allergic to an enzyme in cat saliva so the
bite led to more than just an infection. However, the allergy isn't that much of a problem and I am not giving up my QIs! I figure they are just as likely to be allergic to my biteas I am to theirs', so very early in any human/feline relationship we usually strike a deal - you don't bite me and I won't bite you. Has worked OK so far. -- Cheryl & the Cats _ _ _ _ _ _ ( Y ) ( Y ) ( Y ) ~ ~ ~ Enness Boofhead Donut Now in hibernation with a wake-up call for Spring! http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest catsatararatATyahooDOTcomDOTau "Kate Dicey" wrote in message (snipped) I was once hospitalised by a cat bite on the hand, : although the bite was from breaking up a fight not : administering a pill, and the 8 days in hospital had more to : do with the utter incompetence of the doctor than the actual : bite) : : UGH!
