Posted by: Jannalee_CAPosted on: 8/24/2004 11:53:13 AM#R4279812Red - Great news on Taffy...Now here's some advice:
HOW TO GIVE YOUR CAT A PILL...
1. Grasp cat firmly in your arms. Cradle its head on your elbow, just as if you were giving baby a bottle. Coo confidently, "That's a nice kitty" Drop pill into its mouth.
2. Retrieve cat from top of lamp and pill from under sofa.
3. Follow same procedure as in 1, but hold cat's front paws down with left hand and back paws down with elbow of right arm. Poke pill into its mouth with right forefinger.
4. Retrieve cat from under bed. Get new pill from bottle.
5. Again proceed as in 1, except when you have cat firmly cradled in bottle feeding position, sit down on edge of chair, fold your torso over cat, bring your right hand over your left elbow, open cat's mouth by lifting the upper jaw and pop the pill in - quickly. Since your head is down by your knees, you won't be able to see what you're doing. That's just as well
6. Leave cat hanging on drapes. Leave pill in your hair.
7 Have a good cry. Now pull yourself together. Who's the boss here anyway? Retrieve cat and pill. Assuming position 1, say sternly "Who's the boss here anyway?" Open cat's mouth, take pill and OOOOPS!
9 This isn't working, is it? Collapse and think Aha! Those flashing claws are causing the chaos
10 Crawl to linen closet. Drag back large beach towel. Spread town on floor.
11 Retrieve cat from kitchen counter and pill from potted plant.
12 Spread cat on towel near one end with it's head over long edge.
13 Flatten cat's front and back legs over its stomach.
14 Roll cat in towel. Work fast' time and tabies wait for no one.
15 Resume position 1 Rotate your left hand to cat's head. Press it's mouth at the jow hinges like opening petals of snapdragon.
16 Drop pill into cat's mouth and poke gently. Viola! It's done.
17 Vacuum up loose fur (cat'! s) Apply bandages towounds (yours)
18 Take two asprins and lie down
19 Wait two weeks. Remove regurgitated pill from under sofa
