How did we make a cat swallow a pill? Yesterday, we asked readers how we can make the ottawan’s Chief Feline Officer Wiggy take his pill. We received many moggie-centric suggestions: ▪️Gently press both sides of his mouth and shove the pill in. This is what we wanted to avoid because it seems so brutal ▪️Crush the pills into broth or Lil Soups by Friskies ▪️Buy a pill pocket from PetSmart which cats confuse as Temptations ▪️Cover the pill with meat ▪️Compounding pharmacies can coat the pills in flavourings
Brutal won the day and Wiggy was force-fed his pill. He's now glaring at us and we worry that layoffs are imminent.
We'll see you tomorrow – Martha and Darren ? Is there something that Ottawa should know about? Email to us at hello@theottawan.com. We read every single comment. |
