How long until cat forgives me??????

[BuffysMum]

Merlin is still ill and now on some disgusting tasting antibiotics (Vet warned me they are vile) have finally a way to get them in him!!!! crushed up in katalax smeared on paws, twice a day.

Unfortunate backlash - Merlin not talking to me, not even fighting for attention of the laptop.

Also not getting any pouch food as no longer on anti-parasitic granuals - he is not impressed with dried food!

Got 3 more days of this - how long until I'm forgiven - days, weeks - never

new year

2012

Give him pouches again and he'll love ya tomorrow.

I am afraid you will have to grovel for an unspecified length of time until he deigns to speak to you again
that's cats for you

I take it by the fact you have "finally" found a way to get him to take them you have had problems before? This reminded of this below, it makes me laugh:

HOW TO GIVE A DOG A PILL

1. Wrap it in bacon

well he forgave me after 2 hours until we had to start again with another this morning and again this evening. It's the look of disdain after licking a bit off his paw and then leaving it for another 10 minutes before licking anymore off. I've tried mixing it in marg - got flicked everywhere, in tomato puree and he looked like he was going to throw it back up again, put the katalax around his mouth to spead up the process and he drools until he can flick it across the room, up the walls etc.

Still only 6 more tablets to go!

kezza that is hilarious

buffy good luck, he will love you again when it's over, promise
