Barnaby is quite the handsome gentleman. Glad to hear he is on the mend and thank you for posting a picture of him!!!

hes asleep on his dads lap at the mo,still pretty zonked out from the medication.the other 2 have hidden them selves away some where
barnaby knows hes a good looking cat (bit of a big head ) and wraps everyone around his little claw
any ideas on how to get him to take his tablets?? as hes a wild one when it comes to his meds ill just have to stock up on some band aids

I hate pilling cats. In America - we have a pill shooter - I don't know if you have anything like that in the UK. Here is one below. You put the pill in the end and shoot the plunger forward so it goes back in the throat.

i have to give sara a pill every other day, by myself...

put him on a surface like a table or counter(chest level), give him a treat, stick a tiny bit of hairball meds on the tip of your finger(right hand), stick the pill to it, lean over him so that he is between your body and your inner (left)arm, use that (left) hand to push on the sides of their mouth till it opens(they will struggle, just hold him tighter between your arm and body, it wont hurt him), with the other hand(the one with hairball meds on it) insert your finger to the back of his throat and rub the pill on the back of the tongue, take your finger out then hold his mouth closed for a few seconds afterwards, then immediatley give him a treat...
i have done this with every cat i have ever owned and i dont think i have ever had to try again... it should take less than a minute and the best part, no scratches!!! it may take a few tries to get it right, and it is alot easier than it sounds! (if you are left handed, you can do it the opposite way)

...or if you get the pill thing that was mentioned, that would work too! i actually didnt know they made such a thing!

Another truly beautiful breed. My husband loves the Russian Blue and the Abyssinians (sp?).

Of course I don't recall ever seeing a cat I didn't think was beautiful.

hes loving all the attention at the mo

heres a piccy of the other 2,cant get a decent piccy of them as they dont stay still long enough

What a handsome gentleman you are Barnaby.
