The vet gave me some sort of medicine and told me to tuck it into water
packed tuna. Persia wouldn't go near it. Nope, not even a lick.

Not all cats like catnip either... :-)

She's not allowed to have treats. I asked the vet. She eats prescription
dry food after a $900 surgery in 2004 which John paid for (bless him!) She
does have a velcro closure "mouse" which I fill with fresh catnip.

I understand... but some of the prescription companies make prescription
cat treats, so I was just wondering..... ;-)

I presume you were able to get the medication down her ok.

Oh yeah, I learned how to pill a cat. No fun for either of us but I'd had
practice with my dog Sampson (RB) Not quite the same thing, though, as dogs
don't know how to use their claws in the same manner!

<snork>

I know what you mean... ;-)

If I have a cat that has to be pilled for 10 days, they get their claws
trimmed! My vet did show me the trick, but it's still iffy to get it
just right!

Just an FYI - if you blow on a cats' nose at the moment you pop the pill
into their mouth and clamp their jaws just they swallow reflexively. Makes
it so much easier
