This is different from any I've seen. Their cat didn't start growling till
step 6??!! Lucky! Mine used to start growling the minute I picked up the
prescription bottle, and fight and struggle every inch of the way. Took
him to a different vet a few months ago and he must have had a long talk
with him because he now sits quietly and we usually get it down the first
time! I've been pilling him twice a day for about two months without a
scratch. Knock on wood. Gotta ask that vet what he did ...

My cat is friendly to me all day but knows at 11 pm it gets a pill. I have
to trap him . He knows how fast I can go and is one step ahead of me. He
makes the fatal mistake of ducking into the bathroom after our sprint about
the house and I nab him. He is very friendly and purry after. He must have
a hidden watch on him somewhere or he listens for the 11:oo weather to start
and keeps his distance. Once in my hands he takes it without any resistance.

she can have a lot of fun without praying for failure ... ??? jajaja ..

My 14 year old cat has seizures and is on phenobarbital. He is fine on this
medication and as lively as he ever was. He almost died 3 years ago from the
seizures. Now does not have them.
