“He saw me coming!”
Andy literally saw me coming today to get him for his dose of medicine. That was all it took.
Andy takes up a strategic position under the computer desk.
He can see me from there.
It’s a waiting game now.
Andy feels secure enough he rests his eyes a bit….!
Not for long, though. He needs to stay alert if he’s to avoid his medicine today!
Andy is confident he will win.
=(^+^)=
UPDATE: Andy stretched out at my feet shortly after I posted this, and all I had to do was reach down to catch him. He got his dose and his treats today after this short drama.
Please tell Andy that he looks particularly handsome in the bottom picture. How long does it take to groom him and his brother?
The boys actually don’t require a lot of grooming. Dougy’s undercoat is heavier than Andy’s, so I do have to brush him more regularly, but he enjoys it. It’s one of out bonding things.(Andy and I have our bonding time when I give him his medicine. Also, I’ve begun picking him up randomly through the day just to hold him and give him a little loving so he knows it isn’t just a thing that happens when I give him medicine. He didn’t used to let me pick him up without first trapping him in a corner, but he’s gradually getting to let me just pick him up wherever I spot him. Nice!))
Such a beautiful boy. Ali played the revenge game this morning after she got her meds,. an she left me a huge, nasty hair ball.
Ugh! Haven’t seen one of those lately but one of mine left another type of “bomb” when the fire alarm scared him….!
seems it was easy to give it… Andy is so nice and so goog 🙂 You can’t imagine mine… Thanks and Love, nia
If I can catch him, it’s easy to give him his medicine. Lately, he’s been easy to catch most days.
I can imagine dear Weggie 🙂 There is same problem with yours when we go to the vet… She escapes… she understands that we would take her to the vet… Not being easy to catch her in the home. 🙂 Thanks and Love, nia
I usually can catch one easily then the second one is alerted to something being up. That’s the hard one to catch! I try to schedule them both at the same time for grooming and veterinarian appointments, mostly for my convenience, but I have had to reschedule for the one that refuses to be caught on an appointment day.
Oh my Andy boy when you gonna learn you can no tout trick Doug.
(I hate to admit it but there are occasional days he beats the system and hides successfully from me at medicine time….!)
I think you will win, no kitty can stay awake and alert all day.
I count on this. I also count on him wanting to lie down near me when he sleeps of rests. I use his basic friendliness to my advantage….!
Every darn day you (and Andy) have to face the music!
I hope I never have to give insulin injections…!
Trying to find , “Elevator to the Gallows” for free. No easy task. I have watched trailers and love Miles Davis’s music.
The music was a major attraction for me. I’m a big fan of Miles Davis, especially in the 1950s-early 1960s. One of these days you’ll not be looking for the film and it will pop up on television or some place. It was on TCM channel not too long ago, so probably will be played there again in future.
haha…MOL I know where Andy’s coming from..my sis gets meds…me, myself, never had them. She is good at giving angry looks, pitiful looks and don’t hurt me looks. Makes mom feel like a big meanie! Just the way she is suppose to feel.
Andy always gives me these looks of a kitty betrayed, a much aggrieved kitten, a pitiful victim of inhumane trickery. He gets a massage and kitty treats afterwards, so I am not sympathetic….! Ha!
Been there also for 21 days with one of my cats.
My word! I will never complain about Andy again!
Never!
Andy’s record is just one day.
I have always thought that Andy was a cat with a strong personality ! Medicine ? Not for me, he says! 🙂
In friendship

Most of the time Andy is a sweet little cat but he has his limits. Taking his medicine is one of them! I think his problem is the medicine has to be refrigerated so is cold when I give it to him. Today, after filling the syringe, I set it out on the kitchen table. The medicine was warmish when I finally caught Andy. He seemed less stressed today than usual so I will consider letting his medicine warm up first in future if that is all it takes to make it OK for Andy. (It is flavored with tuna after all, so should be tasty to him regardless!)
That last picture lol he looks like Lucifer from Cinderella!
That covers it OK! He’s being a > wink < little pill today about it. He's still under the desk but has turned around the other direction so he can shoot out if I try to touch him. This is going to be a long afternoon!
