valkryorPilling the cat has been...an adventure. Yesterday, I wrapped him in a towel and it was easier for both of us. It didn't take nearly as long (good for him) and his body was more confined (good for me because Sunny is pointy at five ends, as my hand will attest to), so I call that a win.
Did I mention that Sunny is a treat fiend? He is a TOTAL fiend when the treat jar comes out, so I had Paul pick up some pill pockets yesterday as he went out on an errand of his own. And, I will say it was the most successful yet. Getting the pill pocket around the capsule is a bit of a trick and it makes for a rather awkward treat, but the cat didn't seem to care. Once it was down his gullet, he started shnurfling the counter for more treats that he might have missed.
Now here's hoping he doesn't pick up Franklin's trick of eating the pill pocket around the medication, because it will be back to pilling him after that.
In other news, I am making peanut butter cookies for game tomorrow, because we are gaming. In person. For the first time in a year and a half. HOLY FUCK. The cookies aren't necessary or even expected, but they're kind of a gaming tradition and it's been too fucking long. The only downside is the lack of chocolate chips, because I am completely out. I did put roasted peanuts in them, though, and they smell AMAZING.

Are you hella tired today? I am having trouble keeping my eyes open for longer than ten minutes and have spent the majority of the time I've been 'awake' napping.

Date: 2021-09-06 07:23 pm (UTC)I gave the cat his medication today, and he gobbled it up. So far, he looks forward to the 'treat' before they've been fed, so I have my fingers crossed that it continues.
In person gaming was AMAZING. I also don't know when we're going to be doing it again as one of our members is immunocompromised and I have a kid that is too young for the vaccines and going back to school tomorrow. At least we managed it, though, and can still game online. Not the same, but better than not gaming at all.
I do love a good peanut butter cookie.
