Hellooooo out there

I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, just of the divine wagon.
Got into a bit of a funk, and hubby went out of town on business (that always throws off my schedule, I can't sleep at night, then tired during the day), and then one of our cats got sick. I've been to the vet 4 times in the last week. Well, I haven't been to the vet, Cleo has been to the vet. I've taken her. I go to a people doctor. Sometimes. Don't go to the doctor often. That's a different story. Had the fun of monitoring the litter box all week. We have 2 cats. That's a lot of litter box usage, and I'm going through it like a kid looking for buried treasure in a sandbox. Except this buried treasure is not worth anything and smells overwhelming like ammonia. When I'm not doing that, I am trying to figure out ways to get pills down Cleo's throat. She's very picky, and doesn't eat human food, so that elimiates hiding it in butter or cheese or other foods that we have used in the past for various pets. She has never been much for cat treats, buy we did discover that she loves "Greenies". We found out that Greenies make a pill pocket, so for the first 2 days, she ate the pill laced treats no problem. Then she caught on. So then I rolled the treats in catnip (they are moist, so that worked well), but she figured that out in half a day. Nothing better for an ailing and stressed out cat than wrestling with their owner, who is trying to force their jaws open and throw pills down their gullet!
Vet advised me today that I can put the pill in the syringe (for the liquid meds she is on) with some water, leave it for 1/2 an hour, and then just shoot the water down her throat. Or they can order the liquid form of the medicine (chicken, beef or fish flavoured) for us. Wow. I would have loved either of these little gems last week when all this started!
