It is recommended to grease the tablet with butter or vegetable oil. This must be done so that the cat swallows it faster.

The animal was in a cocoon. The next step is to act immediately. Use your thumb and forefinger to press down on the base of your mouth and place the tablet on your tongue with your other hand. Keep your mouth closed until the first swallowing motion. Calm your pet during the procedure. Then you can give the cat a treat or vitamins. If you yourself cannot keep the cat, involve someone close to the process. Then one will hold the animal, and the other will put a pill in the mouth. Follow the cat closely after the procedure. He may spit the medicine out unnoticed.
