haha!
that reminds me of last night - we were supposed to give Laura her antibiotics and since she wouldn't eat the pill with her food, we should dissolve the pill in water and then inject that into her mouth...except for a few drops she didn't get any of the pill and we were really pissed
(she's got both a nasty bite from the neighbour's cat and a rather heavy flu
) and then this morning in bed, suddenly it dawned on me: we crushed the pill, mixed it with two or 3 teaspoons of food and she ate it without any complains!*yay!!!!

Oh the joys of giving cats medication!!! Before Tiger died we were giving her 3 meds 2 times a day so I got to be a pro at it. I'm probably a bit rusty now though!

Fun, fun, fun!

Pushy's on his 3rd course of antibiotics in 2 months, so we're getting used to it too. Fortunately he likes his food, so we put it in a little bit of some wet food, then leave it on the counter and turn our backs. He thinks he's stealing some food and always wolfs it down quickly with no complaints! Cat Psychology 101!

I've read the Finnish version before. It's always funny and *sigh* so true.
