Wow, she looks just like our cat Sugar. Haven’t had to give her a pill yet, but of our 4 cats, she would be the most challenging.
The pill shooter thing does work. As mentioned above, you have to wrap them with your knees to be able to have both hands free. Or you need two people.
One of our cats has been on medication since last fall. He has bacterial hepatitis, and while he’s improved, his numbers still aren’t back to normal. But he is super easy to give pills to. I cuddle him like a baby (which he loves), open his mouth and pop in the pill. It probably helps that he knows he gets treats right after the pill. He actually sits and waits by the counter for me. We had one other cat who was super easy. You could walk up to her, open her mouth, and pop the pill in. But I know that’s not normal.
