Thread: How can I give worming tablets?

A method I have always used quite successfully, is to grab the cat and hold him between your legs as you kneel on the floor. The advantage to this posture is that he can't back away from you. Prise his mouth open with your left hand, pop the pill to the back of his throat with your right hand, and hold his mouth shut. Then, just to make sure, have a cup of water and teaspoon to hand, and quickly get some water into cat's mouth, which will force him to swallow. If you can get prepared and do the whole thing quickly, the pill will be down before the cat has a chance to think about putting up a fight. After he's got used to this, you might be just as successful sitting on a chair and holding the cat on your lap, with his back to you.

Mind you, none of this worked with Monty's last worming pill....! And I thought I was an old hand at this!!!! Could be time to switch to Advocate!

Good luck anyway!
