Been trying to give a cat a pill

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.

You have to hold her between your knees so both hands are free. Burrito wrap her first. It also protects you from the claws. Good luck.
