A couple if weeks ago i needed to medicate my little man Herby. I tryed all sorts, hiding it in his wet food, putting it in a can of tuna and just straight on going for it.. attempting to force the tablet down his throat! He was having none of it.. and i ended up covered in scrathes, with a very unhappy cat. My friend then suggested i try hiding it in Webbox. He seemed to get so excited about it, the thought that i was tricking him never entered his head. My only problem now is he is slightly addicted to them. Every evening when i come home, i think hes excited to see me... but infact he is excited for his daily allowance of Webbox. But at 99p for a pack of six, who am i to disapoint.
One extreamly happy cat owner :Luv2:

lol .... glad you have managed to find a way of medicating without injury or stress ;)
I remember the hassle I had trying to get antibiotics down Zephyr's throat ... lots of scratches, hissing and kicking and foaming at the mouth it was a right palava. On the third day I accidently dropped the tablet on the floor as I was openeing the bottle .... to my shock and delight Zephyr ran over sniffed the tablet and hoovered it up in one go! :-: I later found out the tablets were "palatable" and all I had to do was throw them down and he would eat them! :rofl: :rofl:
Since then I have always tried to get palatable tablets wherever possible .. it makes life so much easier.
