Blue is afraid I have his medicine to give him again.
Blue is afraid I have his medicine to give him again.
Every time I stand near the kitchen and then later start to call his name, he hides. He knows his antibiotic is in the fridge.

Churu is my secret weapon. Half a tube of that and mix in whatever meds and they'll scarf it up. It's not real cheap but it's worth it not to have to force it down them.

I call that Cthulhu bites. I don't know what they put in that but the cats will sell their souls, my soul and the kid next door's soul for those snacks. And we could hide a variety of stuff in them. They also make a chewy snack with a soft center that was excellent for hiding small pills.

Really? What is churu, and where can a person buy it? Is it made specifically for cats?

It is the best cat treat I've found.

I'm in the southern US and most stores that have cat food and treats also have these.

It's a gravy kind of treat that comes in a tube, specifically made for cats. If you live in the US, Walmart carries it!

There's a similar thing called Delectables that our cat goes nuts for. I never thought about it for medicine, but it's great for distracting her if we need to shave a mat out of her fur.

I second this. It's the only way I can clip my poly mainecoon’s claws. Husband holds the tube and I am free to do what I need to

I had to call my partner over to see his sad face. We both feel terrible for him. You're doing the right thing; it's just heartbreaking not to be able to explain why you're making him sad.

I had a cat who needed to be wrapped in a towel in order to be given meds. So now every time I touch a towel and hold it a certain way he freaks out a little bit.

Mine did really well with the pill pockets, but she's very food motivated.
