With the pill in one hand, I hold my cat against my chest and stroke her to calm her, then gently put her down on the floor facing front, straddle her, and continue to pet her.
As I stroke her throat, I move the fingers of one hand up and press against the sides of her mouth. I rest the pill on a finger from the other hand.
When she opens her mouth, I jam the pill down her throat with my finger, pushing it down behind her tongue.
When I remove my finger, I gently massage her throat and jaw until it's clear that she swallowed the pill.
I tried your way and Hal's way. The cat is constantly trying to escape and run away. With one hand I have to try to hold her in place. The other hand is supposed to open her mouth. I don't have a hand to handle the pill.
