How to give a cat a pill:

1) Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding

rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head

note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered
figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid

to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push
pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head

LOL Reminds me of a similar writing I read in a book written by a vet about how to give a cat a bath, which ended with "apply iodine to scratches and call spouse to help you with the ones that just won't stop bleeding".

I am sooooooooo lucky and grateful to have my lovely Beau. I can give him a bath, give him a pill, do anything at all with that boy and he never struggles or hurts me. Not ever.

I swear to God I laughed sooo sooooo hard while I read this. I still am laughing and have tears coming down. This was the greatest joke I've ever read I think. Thanks so much. I needed it.


Excuse me, while I go blow my nose and wipe my eyes.

IA. If you need me, just meow..
Joke? what are you talking about?
That's what I got through everytime I have to give Rocket a pill. Normally he's the most loving cat in the world, but just try to give him a bath or a pill and he becomes possessed with a demon! He howls and cries and scratches and bites! It's horrible. I have to wait until Brad is home to help me do either.
The others aren't so bad, I can pill them by myself, Now bathes I can't do. It breaks my heart to hear them cry, so I leave that up to the mean daddy man!!! LOL!
