Lucky Dougy! He can relax after kitty food time…
…but Andy sneaks around in the dark (the reason this is in black and white) because he knows it’s time for kitty medicine time. Yuck!
Post 2091: after kitty food time…

Andy and I miss Dougy
The ongoing adventure: Andy trying to escape his medicine.
Poor kitty! I feel like a villain every time I do ity!
We go through it only once a month, fortunately, when we apply the Revolution treatment to all three of them, and it’s topical, rather than internal. I catch, and sweet-talk, and cajole, and hug, and my husband applies those few drops, after which all three of them stage a revolution of their own, sulking under the bed.
I know that routine! The kitty boys act like they just had sulfuric acid applied to them. At first, I thought maybe it was uncomfortable and hurt on application, but I accidentally got some on my skin – no ticks or fleas that month! LOL! – and it was more like water than anytnhing. (Of course, I washed it off as soon as possible.)
LOL When we catch one of the girls, she immediately tells the others, and they hide. I remember the experience of administering internal meds to Shabbos the Cat. I would wrap her into a blanket, and my son would give her meds. I know what you are going through, without a second person to assist.
Dougy sometimes runs interference when I’m on Andy’s trail, but the routine lately has been simplified by the fact that Andy thinks he’s hiding when he gets begind the towel that I wrap him in Dougy’s usually off somewhere catting around. Fortunately for me, Andy is fatalistic and compliant once I reach over to pick him up.
I love your choice of words: “fatalistic” indeed!
That’s how he is! He goes limp when I pick him up and wrap him in the towel, though he does put up a little resistance the closer I get to completing the wrap.
He is just a very sweet boy (so is his brother, to be fair)!
Thst threy asre. Dougy isn’t happy to be held very long, though I work on that, slowly, with the intention of him learning there are rewards for becoming a lap kitty!
Ha! Mine are usually all over me and anywhere, but in my lap, so this is not called lar kitties, I guess.
LOL!
Cats never seem to need to look at a clock. Those internal clocks for food or medicine are quite precise!
It helps immensely when I have to find Andy for medicine time!
Kitty medicine time ; what a mourning for this poor Andy!This is translated in black and white ! 🙂

He is a good kitty about taking his medicine, but he cleartly doesn’t like it!
We s that on the photo in black and white
That’s the all-in-one machine in front of Andy. J+He likes to sleep on the computer desk shelf behind it or sit on top of it watching Dougy and me.
I see Dougy is left pawed today.
Andy needs to get better at Hide-N-Seek.
I almost thought he was right-pawed, but he seems mostly right-pawed, with equal agility using his left paw.
Oh yeah, my babies are Ambidextrous too. My Tara is right pawed at present.
I read somewhere that cats tend to be right pawed, like people, though I think mine use the paw best able to catgch whatever they are aiming at.
You’d think Andy would be used to that medicine by now. But it doesn’t look like he’s trying to hide from you here.
He isn’t technically hiding, just hanging out far enough away that he can make a run foir it if I shift myt weight in my chair or get out of it!
aaaah …are you looking for a hiding place? da neilson says you can close your eyes then you can not see anything and they also can not see you… but if you as me, I say… ruuuuun!
Andy believes as long as he can’t see you, he is hiding. I creates hilarious situations where I have no problem catching him because he doesn’t realize he’s so exposed. KI hope he never figiures it out!
