The greedy cat method
If you've found a way to coat your pill but the cat still isn't very keen on taking it it can help tremendously if you have a second cat in your house.
First call both cats and then feed the healthy one with 2-3 treats (flavoured pill pockets containing nothing) while holding the sick cat back with your other hand. Let the sick cat watch your other cat greedily scoff down the treat. Then feed the sick cat its pill pocket containing the medicine.
As it just watched the other cat eat the sick cat will be less suspicious of the pill pocket
, especially if both cats usually think the other one's getting better food.
