Cat : I am old and tired and need rest Me: you can rest after I give you this antibiotic Cat: I am young and spry and can jump to the top of the armoire

Cat: I had a stroke and lost part of my brain function Me: I’ll take care of you by giving you this medication Cat: I’m an evil genius who can fake swallow a pill, wait until you walk away, and then secretly drool it out onto the carpet behind the TV stand

You would think that cat medication for would be cheese, fish or liver flavored or otherwise rendered more palatable the way that many dog meds are.

Cat: "Oh I'll happily take medicine that will make me feel better! Right after I grow three more legs with even sharper clawed paws!"

Had a cat with serious heart issues. *HATED* her meds. One day, I held her down on the kitchen counter to make her swallow. When the process is done, she looks up at me with hatred, waits to show me who's in control, walks to the edge and kicks my phone into her water bowl. Nods. Leaves

😂 (I am blessed with an elderly cat that does not fight meds. Which is good since she requires daily blood pressure meds and twice weakly steroids)

how do they measure blood pressure on a cat? Do they have really tiny cuffs and use a sphyngiomanometer?

They do have tiny blood pressure cuffs. But she burst a bunch of blood vessels in her eye. That’s how it started. She’s usually to angry for actual measurements

That’s the cutest medical procedure!

The cost is not quite as cute.

Usually around the base of the tail and it's a digital automatic system

My elderly cat gets a daily Denamarin & steroids every other day. I am very glad he just lets me pop stuff in there.

Exactly. Sometimes mi ex reminds me to give them to her

Thanks be to whomever that my meds-needing cat likes Pill Pockets.

My old man wobbles as he walks but will still climb to the high counter to get the forbidden wet food the other cat eats

We've got one of those. We're measuring her recovery by the increasing fight she puts up. OTOH we had a cat that needed daily injections. Every day he got up on the chair and waited patiently for them. He lasted 3 more years.

Cat: I am so old. I simply cannot groom myself anymore Me: Okay, I'll brush all the spots you can't reach Cat: I can reach those spots just fine with my claws

I’ve had to opt for injection only for my cat because she will force herself to throw up any oral medication (thankfully the vet understood because his cat does the same thing!). She literally has NO reaction to shots, but she’ll purge the non-painful oral medication. Such a diva 😭

OMG that is cats all over! I send wishes for restored health. 😺♥️

An apt description for how my cat just reacted to me cackling at this

Faster than you can bat an eye! Or, squeeze under a very low piece furniture that you can't reach. They are very adept at quickly finding locations out of reach.

Oh we have the same cat I see 😹😭

I dunno wtf is up with those cats on YouTube that just eat pills with no complaints - my cats have always become possessed the moment they get even a hint medicine is coming their way
