Struggling…. I tried putting the content in their food and no luck either

Thanks for the tips :)

We used a two person system.

One held the cat close to their body, securing the front paws against the cat with one hand and securing the head with the other hand. You have to secure the back hips against you with your arm or elbow.

The other pushed the pill into the cat's mouth, held it shut and stroked the throat.

After a few months the cat realized struggling wasn't worth the effort and only tried to claw our faces off if we got complacent.

We miss her very much.
