Yvonne,

Can you pill him when he's on a counter or other raised area? I find
that pilling when the cat is a little higher up is a big help. Sit his
butt down, open his mouth, and stick the pill in with your finger as
far as you can, so he can't spit it out. (Gee, writing this down
sounds a bit stern, but it really isn't!)

I'd suggest following with a small sryinge of water, if possible, so
there isn't any chance of it eroding in his esophagus.
