      I call my cats by pet names of, sweetie, bunny (I have no idea why I call cats bunnies), love. I also call them by the pet names of bogan, hooligan, and ruffian. “Which one of you hooligans did this?” is an often used phrase in my home. My cats are very good at looking innocent when they are guilty; and looking guilty when they’ve done nothing wrong. They drive me crazy. I love them with all my being.

    What do you guys do with your cats so that it scratches you? I have 4 and none of them has ever intentionally scratched me or my wife. Just clip their nails and if it really is a situation where the cat is not cooperating at all, burrito blanket is the answer.

    Not pills but drops.

    Waited until she was asleep and put the eyedropper in her mouth. Worked great.

    This is wild. I’ve never had this experience with my cat. Haha.

    Why not just use a pill pocket if it’s that dire??? My cat is an Angel and just lets me do it, thankfully.

      Pill pockets are going to be plan A for the vast majority of people.

      They dont work for many, I’d wager most, cats.

        I guess I hit the lottery with my cat. She is so sweet and just puts up with me doing what I need to do. When it comes to ear cleaning, she just runs and hides(understandable! I would, too).

          My last girl was that way. She wouldn’t do the pill pockets, had to use a piller, but she was remarkably patient with me.

    See, the problem is the “owner” part. I am a cat pet and even the most hatey, “evil,” “vicious” lil fuzzbuddies tend to end up liking me pretty quicklish :3

    Which isn’t to say that I haven’t bled my share, just… nocritter owns a cat :P
