Pixel is a good kitten. I didn't have any problems giving her pills. It's those other cats, like the totally psychotic purebred ones I've seen, that definitely *do* need the towel-swaddling technique that Brunnen-G describes. Seeing the struggle is an adventure -- with all the hissing and screaming and blood in their eyes like the cat's being axe-murdered. I can believe it when the vet says some cats need to be tranquilized in order to give them pills or just cut their nails.
