7. Both.

Cats like to leave a trail of blood and destruction in their wake when they escape. We're currently giving one of ours ear, eye, and nose drops twice a day. Ouch!

8. I think they took this pic.

I hold mine too. Hopefully, they know the situation and are sure it's safe.

9. Awww.

When we go to the vet, I take the cat out of the carrier and try to hold him but he immediately takes off - and either leaps onto the counter and sits in the sink, or trots all over the room, scent-marking everything by rubbing against it. I think it makes him feel more secure if he has marked every item and human in the room as "his."

How to Give Your Cat a Pill by Bob Story

1. Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as though holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth, and gently apply pressure to his cheeks. When cat opens up, pop pill into mouth. Cat will then close mouth and swallow.

2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Repeat the process.

3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.

4. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, immobilizing front and rear paws. Ask assistant to hold cat's head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into cat's throat. Flick pill down ruler with forefinger, and rub cat's throat vigorously.

5. Retrieve cat from living-room curtain valance.

6. Carefully sweep shattered figurines from hearth, and set aside for later gluing. Remove next pill from foil wrap.

7. Wrap cat in beach towel, and ask assistant to lie prone on cat with cat's head visible under assistant's armpit. Put pill in end of paper tube you've made for this purpose. Then, force cat's mouth open with pencil, and blow.

8. Check label to make sure pill is not lethal to humans. Sip water to take taste away. Apply bandage to assistant's forearm, and remove blood from carpet with soap and cold water.

9. Call 911, ask fire department to retrieve cat from eucalyptus tree. Remove remaining pill from foil wrap. Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine, and securely tie to leg of dining table. Put on heavy-duty pruning gloves. Force cat's mouth open with tire iron. Drop pill, previously hidden in one ounce of raw hamburger, into cat's mouth. Hold head vertically with nose pointed to ceiling, and pour one-half pint of water down cat's throat, and two jiggers of whiskey down your own.

10. Ask assistant to drive you to emergency room. Sit quietly while doctor administers anesthetic, stitches forearm and removes pill remnants from eye. Drop off cat, along with a generous donation, at animal shelter, and adopt a goldfish.
