pilling the cat [green - with oozing red from open wounds]

need more ideas on how to pill a VERY unwilling beast of evilcat. I have tried:
  • wrapping pill in butter
  • shoving as far down throat and holding mouth shut
  • wrapping cat in a towel (much like the [livejournal.com profile] ejde cat-in-a-babygrow experiment not entirely sucessful)
  • sitting on top of cat
  • grinding pill and mixing with water and syringing cat
  • asserting dominance and gently biting cat's ear - that was spetactuallry disaterous
  • mixing pill with tuna - they are not easily fooled

    also where's a good place to buy bandages in bulk?

    My sympathy, Our cats are really hard to medicate too. Won't the vet either do it for you or give an injection instead?
