My cat hates water... but this week he's been sick and I've been trying to get the medicine in his mouth and it winds up all over him because he's so darn squirmy. The best I could do is put water on my hand, just enough that my hand is not dripping, and pet him, pulling at the dirtied hair. He doesn't seem to mind that if I do it just right. Is that enough? Will he get the rest? I don't want him to wind up a matted mess.
