Giving my cat anti-spasmodic pills: a total nightmare!!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been prescribed some anti-spasmodic tablets (the vet version) for my cat and it’s an absolute nightmare!

The pill is small, but it’s clearly very bitter. I’ve tried everything: crushing it into her food, using that special pill putty, hiding it in butter, cheese, or fish (now, as soon as she sees those foods, she starts retching). I even tried popping it directly into her mouth, but she spent the next hour spitting and foaming at the mouth after that.

I’m at my wits' end! On one hand, I know it’s for her own good and I want to persevere, but on the other, I don’t want her to lose trust in me or stop eating altogether because she’s worried there’s a pill hidden in there...

Does anyone have any suggestions?
