felis_sidus taught our cat a good way to take pills. We say to Boopsie, "Pill first, then treat." Then we give her the pill, and then give her a treat. So, while she doesn't LIKE getting a pill, she knows she gets a treat with it, and tolerates it.
This morning, Lis woke up with a headache, so I offered to get her some water and some ibuprofen. Because the cat was snuggled up on her foot, so she couldn't move. 'Cause, KITTY!!! YAY!!!
So I brought her the ibuprofen, and the water, and she took the pills and said, "Where's my treat?"
"What?"
"When you give the cat a pill, she gets a treat. Where's my treat? I think you should get me one of those white chocolate covered cookies."
So I did.
