making drug preparations for cat in tablets is just the dumbest fucking bullshit ever.

the best way to give a cat a drug you need to get into its belly is a tasty smelling goo in a syringe with appropriate antioxidant to make the goo stable at room temperature.

it's easy to get a cat to swallow a tablet about half the size of a tic-tac, and anything above that is mission impossible, unless you get lucky and can shove it right into the back of the throat where if you hold their jaw closed for a moment they will reflexively swallow it.

but it's cruel, alien, and is driving a wedge between me and my parasite infested cat.

anyway, that's over for today. i'm gonna be a lot more selective about what i get next time. the all-in-one external/internal one was quite convenient, putting the spot on the neck is relatively easy compared to getting a tablet in his belly.
