Lao was attacked by another cat

thanks every-one - Lao is doing much better now but there is no food in this world that he will eat if there is a tablet inside it - I have even tried crushing the tablets and putting it in that way but he still won't eat - its a case of holding him down and popping the tablet into the back of his mouth - and then booking myself into A&E to get some stitches

and if any-one is tempted to buy the pill gun don't its a complete waste of money

When mine wont take anything, i just crunch up the pills and sprinkle onto their favorite dry fud. Fall for it every time.....

(just making sure my cats are not reading this screen, don't want 'em knowing my secrets after all.......)

This not as cruel as it sounds (honest)

Ice hockey boots (bear with me) get carried around in a shaggy cloth bag with drawstring top, perfect for putting a cat in pullng bag rround top of neck, then you can hold their mouths closed and not end up in A & E.

if you go to AllSports you can get the bags for 6:49, not a massive outlay

my poor reggie had a huge fight with another cat,and he was in the vets for various cuts n scratches,he was really trumatised about it,and lost loads of weight,thought we was going to lose him at one time,i put it down to a racisit attack as my cats black and the other cat was white.
hope your baby getswell soon.

I've heard of someone putting their cat in a bag like that as well and it does work. The hardest bit is trying to get the cat in the bag in the first place

Have you tried putting them head first down the sleeve of a jacket? Just leave their head out and their arms (and thus fearsome, blood-drawing claws) are pinned by their sides. (you have to retract the cat from the sleeve after, otherwise it's cruel

) Poor cats, but if only they would just take their medicine........................
