When Felis Sidus was taking care of Boopsie, she started giving her treats with her pill. So we pop her mouth open, drop the pill down her throat, and then give her cat treats to 1) have a positive association with the medicine, and 2) to make sure she swallows the pill.
The cat really likes the cat treats. She will now pester me to make sure to remember to give her her medicine so that she can get the treats. She doesn't mind us popping her mouth open and dropping a pill down her throat now, since she knows she gets kitty treats right afterward.
