It could also be milk or the water, take it in some higher quantity and feed it to your cat. If you give them in a solid form they would surely fight to take but instead in a liquid form, they would be totally unaware that they took some medicines. Be sure that the quantity of liquid which you take is quite high because sometimes little amount of liquid could cause your cat taste sour or much odd.

Later just hit the pill inside the cat’s mouth but be sure that you hit behind the throat because if it hits at wrong side, your cat will be unable to breathe or it will sometimes try to take it out with his teeth. Sometimes shooting in wrong side might cause some hurt or pain so it is very much necessary to be careful while you this techniques.
