Tips on getting tablets into cat?

Our gorgeous boy was sadly diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks ago. He’s not doing too badly but starting to struggle more with eating. As such it’s been very hard to get his medication into him. He’s on half a table of steroids and pain relief twice a day.

Initially we were crushing them up into his food or a licky lix bit now he’s not so keen on that. Tried to put it directly in his mouth but he wasn’t keen and I just got scratched.

Sadly I think we may have to say goodbye soon but I desperately want to try and at least relieve his pain in the meantime. Anyone been through similar and got any ideas or tips?

Yeah the chirps are so cute. Our other cat does love to cuddle but it’s much more on his terms!

@Roominmyhouse He looks absolutely beautiful. A big soft cuddly ginger tom. Kings of the cat world imho. I'm so sorry you had to make that tough decision but glad he's not suffering any longer.

Am so sorry that he’s gone, he was an incredibly handsome boy, with a slight hint of mischief about him. The decision is never easy, but you did your absolute best by giving him a peaceful release 💐🐾

Pushed into a cube of chicken?

So sorry, he’s struggling with eating, so ignore my daft suggestion.
