We have an 17+ year old cat named
Moose. She needs to take pill every morning and at night to keep her T4 (Thyroid) within limits.. we cut a 5mg pill into two with one of those "pill cutters" that you can get in any pharmacy.
Stuffing a PILL into a cats mouth twice a day really does not work for long..
We use a product called "
Greenies Pill pockets" for cats. It's also available for dogs. It's a little chewy thingy that you stuff the pill into (hide it) and your pet thinks it's a
Treat and gobbles it down. It's been working for two years with Moose.

Just thought I'd bring this up in case someone hadn't heard of it.
