I give one of my cats two doses of thyroid meds a day, and these are a LIFESAVER.
For pills, I take two spoons and spoon them with the pill between them. Squeeze hard, the pill crushes. Then mix with their wet food.
You might have to isolate them from each other during eating time–I know my cats play buffet, each eating some from every dish, even though the food is exactly the same in each dish.
I’ve never found pill pockets to work, and I value my blood too much to try to get pills down a cat’s throat any more. But the crushed up pill in the wet food works great. We have to give my tomcat some prednisone every other day, and it isn’t a problem any more.
Good luck with Max. It’s very common for cats to have urinary problems, especially males. I almost had one die on me due to a blockage. I feed all of my cats special urinary food.
We have to wrap my cat tightly in a towel in order to put him in the carrier because he fights. Bastard.
This is just wonderful.
As a newly minted dog-vangelist. I feel required to post more photos of my dog, Judy.
A story in 3 acts:
She lost the fight against gravity. She made such a loud thump when she slid off the chair onto the floor my wife was concerned. She was just super sleepy.
I am converted, I am a dog person now and forever
That first pic of Judy … so adorable. It’s the look I can never read but I always interpret as, “I’m here. Pet me.” And so when my dogs gaze at me that way, I always do.
SO CUTE OMG.
@JonRowe - Judy is adorable. And if any further convincing a necessary, think on this. If you locked both Judy and your wife in the trunk of your car for a day and finally came around to let them out, which one would be happy to see you?
Oh, I know.
I had never owned a dog before Judy, always have had cats, but I am a convert.
No pics, but I was just admonishing my dog for eating poop in the grass, and she just looked at me like, “You’re damned right I ate poop! And I LIKED IT!!”
Tyson used to snack out of the cats’ litter box.
“Yak, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Chick?”
“YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT I ATE THE POOP!”
The doggies dressed up, per my girlfriend’s excellent wardrobe acquisition.
Rosie:
Bear, without the elf hat he shook off:
He has that look, but he’s the lover of the two. A really awesome, laid back Chihuahua. I honestly didn’t know that was a thing until meeting that little guy.
That look is, “okay now that you’re done laughing, can it be food time?”
BTW. This is Buffy. I may have posted this pic before but I don’t see it anywhere. She is a Burmese python. No longer with me, sadly. When she hit 7 feet the wife wanted her gone. We gave her to a guy that rescues snakes.
I bought her at Coney Island as an 16 inch baby. She was so damn cute. I still have her egg and first molt.
I plan on having lots of kids! But I’m giving them away once they reach 5 feet. ;)
Sadly, you are no longer able to buy one in Florida, or keep one, without obtaining a special permit.
However, you can go down to Everglades National Park and have a good shot at seeing one in the field.
