Murphy is a glutton.

He had his stitches out yesterday and the doctor gave us prednisone for the swelling in his ear. One pill once a day for three days, and then one pill every other day until they're gone.

I've never pilled Murphy. I have always had liquid medication for him, so I was immediately worried when E told me we had pills. Last night, I announced it was time to give Murphy his pill and asked E to help me. E went to get the cat and I went to get the treats.

E took the treats and put the pill on one of the treats, Murphy went after the treat and knocked the pill off, but as soon as he finished the treat, he ate the pill! I was like, whoa, he ate the freaking pill!

So of course, this evening when E announced it was "treat" time, I expected a needing to restrain the cat - nope, he ate the pill again.

Murphy is the easiest cat to pill ever. Thank goodness he's a little glutton. <3

Wow, that's nice! Rune hates pills so I have a liquid suspension of prednisone for her. It's tuna flavored, but she still doesn't like it.

Wow, nice. At least that's one thing you don't have to worry about.

Glad that he is feeling better. Your luck that he thinks that they are treats. Mine always thinks the can food is laced.
