Local Cat

　　Before introducing the method of giving medicine officially, it is necessary to simply categorize the medicines, because different medicines require different ways to be administered. According to the taste, medicines are generally divided into bitter and non-bitter; according to the form, they can be liquid, paste, capsule, and tablet. Some people are naturally not afraid of taking medicine; no matter how bitter it is, they can swallow it in one gulp. But some people feel nauseous just seeing pills. Cats are the same: some cats take medicine like children eating candy, very easily, while others go crazy as soon as they taste the medicine, struggling desperately . Even more exaggerated are cats that drool massively just seeing the syringe used for medicine administration.

    For cats that are afraid of taking medicine, when you need a doctor to prescribe medicine for them, always remember to tell the doctor to prescribe medicines that are not bitter or even sweet. Generally, these medicines are imported, so they are much more expensive, but the good thing is "you are well, and the cat is well," making it much easier to give medicine. Giving medicine to cats that are not afraid of it, or giving medicines that are non-bitter and taste good, is the easiest and simplest because no matter the form of the medicine, you can directly mix it with foods that the cat likes, or mix it with nutritional paste or hairball paste for the cat to eat.

    This method may not be suitable for cats that are sensitive to taste and difficult to medicate because if you have ever given your cat medicine that tastes bad or has a flavor it dislikes, causing severe resistance from the cat, it may never accept that type of medicine again in its lifetime. Some more extreme cats even foam at the mouth just seeing the syringe used for medicine, or afterward, they will never eat similar foods again—even if the food contains no medicine, it cannot shake their determination. Therefore, the cat’s first experience and impression of taking medicine has a huge impact on it for life.
