Good idea! Good job!I know this is a few years old, but Thank you so much! My cat wont take meds dissolved in her food. She also doesn't eat human food so I dipped the pill into the gravy of her cat food. I let her start eating that and then pulled her away gave her the pill and then let her continue eating. It worked beautifully!
Another good thing about this procedure - you know the pill isn't getting stuck in their throat because the food will help push it on it's way to the tummy.I know this is a few years old, but Thank you so much!

It may take practice. One of my cats is a biter too. I never dreamed I'd be able to give her pills (or trim her nails for that matter) Gentle handling, and practice. It' shelps to get a cat used to being handled from day one. Even a cat who hates being handled, can learn that it's not the end of the world, even if he never learns to like it.Otto where do you live and do make house calls? I am going to try your method but I am afraid the cat will see through my "confidence". He is a biter.
