Re: not having a clicker - I stopped using a physical clicker because it was too many things to handle at once, but I can make the same noise with my mouth, so I do that instead now. Thank you for this video! I'm going to start working on this soon.
Finally, a video that isn't about _"how to easily..."_ because more often than not, there is no easy way to get a cat to do something. This makes sense because it has a lot to do with conditioning behavior. I'm gonna have to work on this with my cate.
This is sssooo fitting for me right now. I have one cat that currently takes more pills than me! Thank goodness, he's good at taking them with the help of wet food. It would be a very different story with my other cat though. Clicker training is definitely in our future!
Thank you, this should be essential training for all cat owners along with carrier training. I wish i knew how to do this before i have to give my cat meds.
i'm so glad to see this more recent video! i love all your videos and had not seen any recent ones.... yaaaay! No wonder cats love you; you are so patient to take the time to make them feel safe, and you respect their wishes without traumatizing them! i wonder if i can use your methods on my 17 yr old cat with his meds. he HATEs opening his mouth for anything except eating and yawning!
Thanks for this! It's been painful to "force" my cat to take meds for post-pancreatitis issues. She hasn't shown signs of hating me yet, but I feel like it's going to happen at any moment now 😩 hopefully this helps!
Thank you, that was very helpful and inspiring. What is the treat you have in the syringe? The pills I got from the vet are "chewables" (??) Enrofloaxin 22.7 mg tablets .. will this work the same way? My cat doesn't really go for treats, or perhaps I just haven't found the right kind yet.
I get all that, but some cats are NOT food motivated! Now what? My cat, if he is not in the mood, will not eat anything, even tuna, salmon, or his favorite treats! I am beside myself trying to get him to react to food like other cats, but he likes being petted so much that he gets angry when I do not say good night to him, and in the morning before I am fully awake he MUST have his head rub/butt… he is sweet as sugar and does not misbehave (a lot)…
If only my cat was food motivated. She basically won’t eat anything and keeping weight on her is a challenge. All the medication tricks I’m seeing involve food or treats. I hate the idea of having to shove pills down her throat for the rest of her life, but I guess that’s the only way for her.

You understand cats so well. Thank you for this video. ~ Lisa

That was funny when he said "what do you mean, "all done"?" you still have food there in that syringe.

You’re an absolute GODSEND Ingrid!!
Thank you!!
Thanks. That was great!

Cats are so fortunate - a most wonderful person Ingrid
How do you get senior cats to take meds?
Yeah, or cats who don’t like treats? I guess we’re out of luck.
I need to start doing this.
In the meantime, 1 part tuna water to 1 part Clavamox is a delicacy my cat enjoys before meals. 🤦♂️

How do you get the food in the syringe?
Any suggestions for a deaf cat?
This made me smile !

Randy's training has him about one step away from driving you to work.
This is really good! I want to start this with my cat for deworming🥰 if I can make it less scary and easy for both of us that's a win!
You’re awesome!
Perfect!

You are the queen!
Where do you get "mock" pills?
i’m imagine it’s a treat?
That was amazing!!
Where is the link to book a coaching appointment?

Awsome!
Do YOU PUT MEDICINE IN THEIR FOOD ?

My cat doesn’t even hold still
I wish I knew this years ago.

Is there any medication she can take to up her appetite for a bit? Even try pet cbd? Might help!
so cute and pretty but you have a tomboy voice
No one cares what you think
and? what a stupid comment
