I think I've trained my cat to take meds

My vet gave Shami an antibiotic to help with his sneezing and goopy eyes, and I've started giving it to him by holding him like a baby and sort of putting a small drop on right below his nose (in the little cleft), and he licks it up. I usually give him a good petting and a pounce treat afterwards. Today, I took out the little syringe and filled it up with the meds, and he immediately just looking at it started to lick at his nose. I just slowly started to put the meds where he was licking and he lapped it all up without me even holding him!
And I thought giving meds to cats was supposed to be hard.

Is it Clavamox? One of mine LOVED the taste. She'd come running when she heard me shake up the bottle.

It does taste pretty good. Kinda like those banana-flavored circus peanut candies.

Yep it is! I haven't tasted it, but it does kinda smell like bannana laffy taffy.

I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
