So, 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.

Well, Boopsie was watching, see? She noticed the pills and I didn't want to set a bad example for her!

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me!
