Someone should make treat-flavored pills for pets. Pills that taste like beef, or catnip, or mouse, or whatever.
You're welcome.

Yet another million-dollar idea
You know how when you have to give your pet a pill, and the pet is all, "p-touie!", "p-touie!", frantically spitting the pill back out? And then you have to grab the now-slimy pill and try to shove it back down again?

Yes! I have tussled with my cat, doing the whole throat-rubbing thing until I think she's swallowed the pill, only to see her MINUTES LATER spitting the pill back out.
They make little "sleeves" for pills that are supposed to taste good, but I think they're for dogs because they actually make the whole thing pretty big. You definitely need to invent that for cats! I usually just trying to fold the pill into a small chunk of tuna, but that doesn't always work. Often, I end up mashing the pill into the tuna. I discovered on our cross country journey that my girl kitty prefers to just have it shoved down her throat. Crazy.
P&D, yeah, they can hold the pills for quite a while before p-touey-ing. Sneaky little things. You'd think it'd be easier to just swallow already than carry the damn thing around.
And Kate, Greenies makes pill pockets for cats! They fooled The Runt a few times before he got wise and started refusing them. So then I tried mixing the pill pockets in with some other treats, and he'd eat all the other treats and leave the pill pockets. I even tried rolling them in catnip - no dice. HOW DO THEY KNOW?? This is a cat that eats mouse bones, for Pete's sake, and he won't swallow a damn pill. Voluntarily, at least.
I know, it's like, "You lick your butt, but you won't swallow a little pill?" Surely it can't be a matter of taste.
