Trapping Andy for his medicine involves knowledge of what catches his interest, where he sleeps, what his weaknesses are.
Andy hinted strongly he wanted kitty videos, or, at least, he didn’t react much with wand toys, my first guess. So I set up a fail proof Andy trap: sheets of random paper on the floor and the laptop with a bird video running.
=(^+^)=
Ah ha! The kitty approaches!
Kitty “horns” up (last photo). We are very interested…and unaware of our surroundings!
Rats! It’s the wrong kitty! Dougy makes an appearance.
But Andy showed up, too. Only he is at a safe distance away from the hand waiting to snatch him up and dose him with medicine!
Clever kitty. I’ll catch you yet!
Kitty tooth brushing time is like that here! 🙂
So far I’ve managed to get away with dental kitty treats. They are 5-1/2 years old and have clean teeth and healthy gums, so the treats apparently work. That said, because hey are older now, I do have their veterinarian examine their mouths when I take them in for checkups or shots.
Beautiful cat!
Thanks, Maria! They are looking especially nice now that their hair’s grown out. They have an appointment t the groomer’s next week. Wile they will look nice afterwards, they still look best with long hair.
Pahaha! Nice try. He’s too smart!
So it would seem, though later on I simply leaned over and picked him up, no fuss.
Sounds quite like some tough customer, this Andy 🙂
He can be! I usually catch him, though.
My preferred method is to catch the cat when off-guard asleep!
Me, too! Second best time is when Andy is barely awake because he is a heavy sleeper. Just awake, he barely resists!
and the chase begins….medicine time. hehe. We have a wee mouse that is mechanical. I press a button on the bottom of the mouse and it moves all over and then quits. If, a kitty hits it, the mouse will start again. It must be sensitive cause if I walk across the floor, the mouse starts up again. Kali hardly gets any exercise because of her sore joints but with this mouse, she gets up and follows it all over. She doesn’t hit it though and waits for me to hit it.
This is cute.

Sounds like a good toy. I got the kitty boys a remote control mouse when they were kittens, but it was a bust as soon as they knocked it over, which was immediately.
Poor Andy. Maybe a cardboard box would make it easier to catch him in.
Andy is attracted more to paper on the floor, oddly. Magazines work, too, or simply opening up the front door and waiting. He does get into boxes, but that’s more Dougy’s favorite thing.
LOL, smart kitty.
I’d call it a cat and mouse game, but I refuse to play the mouse! MOL! (Meowing out loud, as we say in Catlandia!)
Haha, we say WOL here in Doglandia!
And I know you “ain’t just woofing”, as my older siblings used to say in the 1950s!
Haha, you are too funny!
Wish I could claim it, but it was teenage slang in the 50s!
That was way before I and even Ms. Zulu was born. Benji.
Not me..! I was a little guy, but I watched and listened closely to what they were doing…. LOL!
😀
In that aspect they remind me about giving small children medicine 😊
There are a lot of similarities, aren’t there?

LOL! Haven’t heard that one in decades! Yeah, it’s something like that around medicine time for sure.
Lol…I thought so…I love cats
Me, too! Until I retired, I never had one, now, of course, I have two! And they make their little intrusions into my life a big joy. Just as I typed tat, Dougy stopped by to rub his tail on my leg…yes, I am marked as “DOUGY’S – STAY AWAY ANDY!” Andy, of course, won’t.
Cats are awesome…I’ll try to find some pics to share
For your blog or here? Regardless, I’ll look forward to them!
If I can find them…blog them and link them…if I can find them
No pressure….!
