I am supposed to get clavamox pills into Tiger twice a day. Hiding in

smear the mixture on his fur. The alternative is a number of 20 mile
trips to the vet for a shot.

Have you tried a pill popper? It looks like a syringe with a rubber tip.
You put the pill in the tip and place it in the back of the cats mouth
and push the plunger.

That doesn't work with a really determined cat! (It's astonishing how
far they can spit those pills, when they adamantly refuse to take them!)
