Description
This is Raskel, she is nine years old and spoiled rotten like any good cat should be. A friend of mine from California sent me this joke and for anyone with a cat that has had to give it medication you will relate, I can remember giving Raskel some prescriptions I had to sit on a chair hold her on her back with my legs around her, hold her head with one arm to keep her still and force the thing to take the pill she fought me every time we went through that scene every night for about two weeks, I showed her who was boss. I had the scratches to prove it. I hope you read the joke and laugh as much as I did.. Have a super day!
How to Give a Cat a Pill
1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby.
Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth.
Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa.
Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.
3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.
4 Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm, holding rear paws tightly with left hand

5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe.
Call spouse in from the garden.

Get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw
9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans and have a stiff drink to take taste away. Apply band-aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.
10. Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed.
Get another pill. Have another drink. Place cat in cupboard, and close door onto neck, to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.
11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Have two more drinks
Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply alcohol compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back some more shots. Throw tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.
12. Call fire department to retrieve the damn cat from the top of the tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat.
Take last pill from foil wrap.
13. Using heavy-duty pruning gloves from shed, tie the little *%^'s front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of filet steak. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour two pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

Terrific clarity, contrast and texture in this uber macro portrait of your kittie, Lynell. I believe that following the instructions you posted on giving a furry one a pill, the result would be CAT-astrophic.
