Giving Meds To a Cat

My cat runs and hides
She knows it is time
For her to have meds
Doors must be closed
Only her door opened

She'll go under the bed
Then go hug the wall 
Making herself small
Now her door is closed
She can not escape

I 'm chasing my cat
To carry her upstairs
Her meds waiting

Hello Andrea, No she is smart. If I did that she would refuse to eat her wet food. One time she ran all through the house and I could not Then she gotfind her. So I got my fiend to help me find her. She ran all through the house and when she got tired she went into her scratching post to hide. Then she got caught. /Darlene\

Love your story/write. Cats have a mind of their own. Have you tried meds in food, like cheese or tuna???? Have a blessed day/week............

Hello Paula, My cat is on a special food she has a sensitive stomach. So I get her food from the vet. Your idea would work if my cat was on regular food. Thank you for the thought. /Darlene\ Hugs.

Hello, Darlene… Irene is terrible to get to the vets. It takes Maria and I to get her and then when you do ….she will bite you and scratch you. Mostly chew, bite because she has no front nails, I got her from the shelter that way. I need gloves for an Eagle to not get bloody, You are a good cat mother Pangie….

I did not know, when I brought her home…she had no rabies shot. Bites here must be reprted to the Ploice. The animal is then impounded. I was able to talk them out of it. She was caged for two weeks in a huge dog cage.the worst part, I had to get a series of Rabies vaccine! Then, the doctors cleaned all the would. Worse, they injected each wound. I was screaming.I might have pictures of my hand. Now, with a walker, I cannot bend over, a fall could be deadly. She hisses at the Vdt and nurses. Never saw a cat so looney. Their teeth are like razors. I am careful whenever I touch her. You can get a vet to come to your house. Pricey, though. B- careful. Pangie
