Reader Request: How do you make a cat swallow a pill? Our boss, Wiggy, a black and white tuxedo cat, has been throwing up the past few days. The vet has provided some special food, apparently made of gold, and some pills. Wiggy's first pill should be administered tomorrow morning before he eats anything – and we have no clue how to make him take it. If he was a dog, we'd just wrap it in cheese. But a fussy cat? No idea. If you have a suggestion, please let us know at hello@theottawan.com
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. |
