You should try it with a ferret! :shock:

Like a cat but with a smaller mouth, sharper teeth and terminator T2000 shape-shifting ability too.
 
What I always did with cats - wrap the cats legs up with a towel - quite tightly / firmly, so they can't wriggle out. Then cradle them in your arms like a baby, and open their mouth, put the tablet in quite far down, then hold their mouth shut until they've swallowed.
 
I feel your pain - 3 years of giving our poor departed Fred 2 pills a day gave me severe psychological damage..... I do love cats though, would never have a dog.

Towel quite a good method of restraining animals to administer medication, okay it's a bit unpleasant for them but if it's a quick process then it's not so bad.
