Food to hide cat meds in?

Pumpkinseeds

Jeez, my second thread today:) Felix is on to his 2nd week of antibiotics. I managed to sneak them into him in tuna in brine and tinned red salmon for 7 days but now but he's bored and suspicious so I need some sneaky tips for other foods to hide them in?

I had to give tablets to a dog that rejected everything except peanut butter. I let my cats lick the peanut butter off my fingers when he'd finished, and they both loved it, so might be worth a try?

Liver paste is something else. You can get a cat and a dog one though i don't know whats the difference except one is pink cover and the others green!

Pate (duck, chicken etc.) can work, other options is also antihair pastes / salmon pastes (one of our cats go nuts and will do tricks for that paste).

I've used bits of cooked chicken before, just kind of stick the stuff into it.

Low low soft cheese triangles, we always use that and no one has ever refused a tablet! We also got this stuff on zoo plus, it's a pate in a tube made specifically for cats and that's great too, though one of my cats doesn't like it so we stick to the cheese for him!

I usually crush their pills in a little butter, they lick it from my finger ..and pills get taken on time and in full. Never fails with my two.

I remember back a few years ago I used put a finger down inside the mouth of my cat and drop the tablet in (thats how we were told to do it). He would swallow eventually, but was pretty good at spitting it out.
After the hardships of that method we would grind up the tablet into powder and mix in with some tasty food. They're clever ****er$ though, and would be suspicious.

I grind it up to a fine powder and hide it in the juice of tinned fish for him and thats been working well but now hes bored and suspicious. He's more of a fish and chicken chap, but I'll try him with some dairy without the pills to see how it goes. I've tried baby food in the past but no success, the pate is worth a try too.

Poor chap his ear has been a problem all his life I'd say. If only whoever had him before us had taken him to a vet he may not have had all this hassle with his ear. He was only about a year old when he arrived to us and by that stage it had grown down through his ear, so he'd to have his jaw opened in surgery to get at it. The problem is the vet will never be able to get all of it:(

Crush the tablets as much as possible into wet food and heat the wet food very briefly in the microwave. The food will smell even stronger and the cat shouldn't notice the smell or taste of the tablets.
A tip given to me by our local vet recently!
