My cats certainly watch TV.  Their favorites are my exercise tapes.  They
sit and watch and watch and then go for the ankles (or arms, or whatever's
moving in an interesting and repetitive way).

My son late cat, shadow, had a way of getting revenge if he thought
he wasn't getting enough attention from his boy.  (Shadow picked
Garth, so he knew Garth was his pet and should be there just to
provide shadow with attention).  He would wait until Garth had his
jeans down - for whatever reason - and would start jumping on Garth's
legs with his claws partially extended.  Not enough do do any real
damage, just enough to puncture the skin so that Garth knew the
shadow was pissed.

Worked every time.  Garth would spend more time with his cat for
awhile.

Try putting the food dish in a dish of water; something, let's say, 1"
larger than the food dish itself. The cats can reach over it to the
food (they probably won't know the difference!) but the ants can't
cross teh water. Always worked for me.

David that type of advice.  Get real, people, and give him some constructive

One of our two cats has a recurring problem with granulanoma (main
sympton is raw sores on the chin and lips) and until yesterday the
treatment was a half tablet of something called Ovarid every other day.
Now, the great thing about Ovarid is that CATS LOVE IT.  As soon as she
heard the rustle of the foil wrapping, Trin would rush over and beg for
her pill, and then chomp and gulp till it was gone.  Hilary wanted some
too and was always pissed off at not getting any.

Those days are over.  The problem has gotten worse, and the vet has
switched us to a new medication, little white pills to be given twice
daily and a capsule of oil of evening primrose to be given once daily
to help metabolize the pills (really).   The capsules are easy--break
them into a small saucer of milk, and hey presto milk and oil are gone
in a flash.  BUT...the pills are another matter.  No amount of disguise
will trick Trin into eating them.  (Embed them in tuna, wait a minute,
and you have a happy cat and an isolated very clean pill.)  

We have managed to get them down as a team, one person restraining and
the other opening up Trin's mouth, putting the pill in the back of her
throat and (gently) putting a finger at the back of her tongue to make
her swallow.  However, this is a very agonizing process both for us and
for Trin.  I'm worried that after a month of this, she'll put in for a
transfer to a better home and/or I'll need skin grafts.

So fellow cat people, IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO GIVE PILLS TO CATS?

All advice will be very gratefully received and, as usual, I'll post
a summary.

Thanks.

i recently got a series of rabies vaccinations(the preventive pre-exposure
kind, since i work as a veterinary assistant in massachusetts, which has
recently has increased cases of rabies, mostly from raccoons).

they told us if someone unvaccinated gets bitten they will need a series of
5 shots in the rear end, and that they are nasty and painful but not as 
bad as the old stomach shots were.  a vaccinated person would only need one
or two.  effectiveness was not discussed.

the vaccine was bad enough.  i had a worse than usual reaction, which included
fever, aches. severe confusion, and an enormous (measured at 3x5 inches)
hot, bright red, sore, itchy lumpy swelling on the place on my arm where
the shot was given.  3 weeks after the 3rd and final shot, i can still feel
two little lumps and it still itches a little.

Actually, pills would almost be preferable to that horrible pink
liquid antibiotic vets always give out.  I hate giving it to the girls
almost as much as they hate getting it.  Even if I wrap them up
tightly in a towel before administering it and keep their heads as
still as possible, they still wind up with that pink glop all over
their beautiful fur, and then they're so mad at me that they don't
even want to hold still for me to clean it off ... :-(

Argh I missed the first of this.  I am going to TRY not to flame too 
much but your cats DO love you.  And it is apparent that you love your
cats.  A selfish cold-hearted bitch, your wife? The mother of your
children?  That's sad.

I have a cat named Steve.  I don't want to have kids, I make that very
clear with people (or the one person) I am serious with.  I acknowledge
the love and responsibility one must have with children and I feel that
I am one of the few people who is smart enough to know that I cannot
(yet) provide what a child needs.  Steve IS my child -- as close as anything
can be.  

One night I was holding my cat and told my bf "I love Steve more than
anything in the world."  He got upset and said "What about me?" "Well
you're RIGHT up there dear" said I.  (Could be considered bitchy but
I've known Jeremy for about 7 months tops, Steve has been my "baby"
for eight years).  Jeremy then later mentioned he might be allergic to
cats.  I said "That's too bad I guess we won't ever live together then"

"You'd choose your cat over me?" says he.

"Dont' put it THAT way" says I.

"Well that's what you're saying", says he.

"Well Steve is the closest I see myself coming to having a child.  He is
MY FAMILY (heck my answering machine says Steve and I can't come to the
phone right now, although it's just as a ruse :)", says I.

Jeremy's quickly decided he's NOT allergic to cats.  We're still dating.
No talk of moving in.  You could say I'm uncaring and a bitch for not
budging about my cat -- but eight years ago when I found my cat starving
and wet on the streets I promised my parents (I was 13 at the time) and
myself that I would ALWAYS make sure Steve had a home with me and was takne
care of.  I will CONTINUE to do that.  I don't care if Charlie Sheen falls
madly in love with me and HATES cats.  :)

>It can be very hard married to a bitch.  Even harder if you love her.
It's also an emotional rollercoaster to BE one.  ;)

The vaccine amy not be perfect, but it at least gives them a good chance.
