Try putting it in cream cheese. My cat used to love plain cream cheese. Good luck.

Would you like to do a link trade with my wedding blog? My site is Saving for a Wedding and I'm trying to find other wedding blog friends to trade links with.

HOORAY! You're back! I am so glad...We have all missed you.

SO glad to see you back here! You make me laugh, you make me smile... I sort of live my life vicariously through you and your funniness. (Is that a word?!) OK -- hilarity! Is that better?

Anyhoo, glad to hear things are going well for you. Enjoy your trip! And I bet you WILL absolutely be the Next Big Thing...

Yay for still-alive Tammy! Good to hear from you. :)

Happy trails. And good luck with the glucosamine.

Hi! I've read your blog for a while now (lurker). Just finally had to write and let you know how much I enjoy your posts, you're too funny! Loved your cat story and read it aloud to my hubby. He laughed and said, that's just like a cat (hurling the yogurt)!
We have a Pug that sheds a LOT. Thanks for the heads up on the shedding brush, lol!

We always use really cheap, really strong (but not garlicky) smelling pâté - it squishes around the tablet/capsule better than tuna flakes and isn't easy to lick off without taking the tablet with it.

Admittedly, we've only used this method on pretty small tablets and our cats are both greedy and dumb - but it seems to work.

Enjoy the World Tour :)

"I was just dying to pick her up and give her a hug, but I restrained myself, which saved the security guards from having to do it for me." Giggle, giggle!

I have to give one of my cats pills (for his heart condition), and not only does *he* love Pill Pockets, I have to give part of one to the other cat so he doesn't mug his brother and steal the medicine. Something to consider if the powder version suggested by Deb doesn't work out. I think Pan would swallow pebbles wrapped in Pill Pockets. It comes in chicken and salmon flavors, and you can get it at the vet or at pet stores. End of commercial--good luck! Have a good trip, too.

My dog is on glucosamine and he also despises it. He will gnaw peanut butter off of the pill with his front teeth like a big carnivorous gerbil and then spits the pill across the floor. It's hilarious, but it doesn't get the goods in his system.

We came to a compromise: I crush the pill into powder over his food and then slather the mess in Iams Dog Gravy (ew). He eats it. I bet if you took the gravy bottle, scratched out the word Dog and inked in Cat, Ye Olde Tom would chow down. The canned food idea is also excellent. I've found the key is using something pungent and disgusting enough to cover the smell of the pill. If my dog ever stops eating the gravy, I'm afraid of what I'll be reduced to putting in his bowl!

I will trade 2 grumpy cats for 1 shedding schnauzer any time.
I'm happy you are still here, now go have a delightful time! Take lots of pics to show us!

I had a similar thing with Deeley - I reached the stage where she was turning up her nose at NOT ONLY organic salmon paste BUT ALSO warm, delicately-poached white fish fillets. My next thought was to have Mr Womble hold her mouth open across the room and to just knock those pills down her with a cricket bat.

Before I tried that, on a random thought I gave her the cheapest, nastiest catfood in Sainsburys, and she YOMPED it up. I think it's because it's just all nasty additives to make cats think it's delicious when it's mostly ash and horse eyelids.

WOO! For Big Things. I don't know what they are, but they sound better than Small Things. And have lots of fun on your World (as in World Series) Tour!

Hey! Glad you are not dead, have fun on the world tour, and yea! freelance!!!

Oh, and they also make the Glucosamine in powder form that mixes really well into canned food. It's chicken flavor or some such, and our cats all gobble it down. It's called Cosequin. You can get it expensive from the vet, or you can get a cheap generic from one of several online pet megamarts. They both seem to be equally edible.

Happy world tour!

Your cat story reminds me of one of my own. When my first cat was a kitten, he'd sleep from 7 pm till 9 pm and then get up and bounce (literally) off my walls from 9 till 2. I started slathering his paws with butter at 6:45 and it'd be 9ish before he'd stop grooming. I thought I was a genius though I was probably clogging his arteries.

I don't know if you'll find this comforting or downright frightening, but I swear I just now came directly here, convinced that maybe your feed was broken, because DAMN you have not shown up in my Bloglines for a long time, and here you are with a new entry. We are psychic twins, or something.

Anyway! Am glad you're not dead. Am certain you're going to be a Big Thing. Hope you have a lovely world tour and return safe and sound, and yes, I WOULD like a schnauzer.
