Any Tips For Getting A Worming Tablet Into My Cat?
22 Answers
If I hide it in his food, he must smell it and wont touch the food, crushing it to powder or cutting it in half made no difference. Trying to put it into his mouth resulted in a bit finger for me, and a traumatised cat who left home for 24 hours! (Oh, and he spat the tablet out onto the floor!).

Tablet on work top, small blob of butter/marg next to it.
wrap cat in towel ( all in swift moves - put towel over cats back, head sticking out, quickly wrap towel under and around cat quite tightly ) basically swaddle him like a baby. Cat in arms - like a baby, use index finger, scoop up butter, press it on tablet to pick it up. Other hand, or someone else, get hold of cat in corners of mouth and open mouth, buttery tablet on back of tongue , hold mouth shut , massage throat, til cat swallows. Works every time for me......good luck. Dogs are far easier. Lol

We gave up when even the vet couldn't do it. The vet had his wrist lacerated.
He advised us to use Droncit, applied to the back of the neck.

Set the cat down on mat ,leave tablet on sideboard .Settle on hard back chair leaning forward with elbows resting on knees ..Speak clearly ..”Now cat we have got ourselves a problem here you do not want tablet , I paid good money for them right . So how do I put this ? You are the one with the worms okay ,I have tried to help but you are having none of it right . The tablet is there if you choose not to avail of its healing properties fine by me ,but don’t come moaning to me if the worms start annoying you .Works every time . oh aye the cat knows that out there there is things which it can get freely from nature to cure them but it’s just looking for you to feel sorry for it .
Thanks for all the answers friends. The trouble with the spot on wormers is that they only treat tapeworms, not roundworms as well, (or it might be the other way around, cant remember which).

have you tried one of these? Once you have the cat wrapped in a towel and its mouth open, this prevents or lessens the potential for injury. We used to have a demon cat, for which this usually worked, but not always...
