Anyone with a cat should know how to do this. In the early 1970s, one entire summer I had volunteered to take care of six cats while their owners were on extended vacation. I still have the scars to prove my venture. I had to give four of the cats two pills a day and the other two three pills a day. I think all these years I still owe the local liquor store owner megabucks for the whiskey he gave me, some to drink and the rest to treat my wounds.
This is priceless!!!!!!
