How To Give a Cat a Pill | Chewtorials
When learning how to give a cat a pill, it’s important to be gentle, careful, and encouraging.
First, sit with the cat in your lap. Then wrap them in a towel, so just their head is exposed. Next, gently hold their head from above with your free hand. Then, tilt it back softly, so their nose points to the ceiling.
Carefully open your cat’s mouth by gently applying pressure on the lower lip and front teeth. Close their mouth quickly and keep it closed with an easy touch, while softly rubbing their throat. Finally, bring their head back slowly to its normal position and reward them with treats and toys for a job well done. That’s how to pill a cat.
Just keep following these simple instructions and handy cat tricks to take your pilling expertise to the next level.

This isnt a real chewy page.
Notice the lack of a check mark…
Typical Yonm stealing someone else’s credit…. (sighs)
Oooooooooooooooolooooooooooooooooooooo
…believe it or not, your cat may spit out the pill. Yep! That was one of mine. 🤦🏻
Why am I watching this at 2am? I don’t even have a cat lol
1. Crush pill
2. Dissolve in a few drops of water
3. Administer with oral syringe
Why do people make this so much harder for animals???
I crushed my cat’s pill up and added water to it – she had a post surgical cone on so I just dripped it slowly down inside the cone and she kept licking it off the inside of the cone before it could reach her face. Mission accomplished.
I need him to help me with my cat’s dosing of thyroid meds. What cat wouldn’t cooperate with him! ☺️
But what if the cat isnt friendly enough to sit in your lap
I’ve been giving my cat medicine for seizures since he was three weeks old he practically tips his head back for me and opens his mouth he is so good
it’s a capsule and He just takes it with my hand fingers and put it right in and then he gets a treat I
have to give it to him morning and night every day and he’s 11 years old now
I wouldn’t trade him for the world I love him so much my Angelo he is my Boy

How to sit my cat on my lap??? She scratch my face off!!
i took my 19 year old Hello Kitty (a LEO you know 🙄) to a legit animal whisperer. . .i told whisperer tell Kitty i need to open her mouth for dental exam. Kitty told whisperer : NEVER ! !
Me : 🙄 asking kitty that night who are you ?
Awww
I know how difficult it is.. helpful video. Thanks
We put Charlie’s pill in a soft Lysine cat treat. They mold into a ball and Charlie just scarfs them down.
I figured this would have involved buying something from Chewy. The only problem with that is that, as getting to be usual, Chewy is late sending my cat’s transdermal medication, so I’m having to give him a pill that I’ve had come to keep as backups because it’s a pretty heavy antianxiety. I don’t want him to cold-turkey suffer. He has anxiety bad enough to need this medication, so you can imagine what fun it is to try to give him pills. Well, considering Chewy’s pill popper is a thousand miles away in their warehouse, I’ll have to check out some other video that can give me a refresher on doing it the old fashion way.
Ohhh I should ask about compounding! I use the pet-piller device, but she spits out the pill.
I’m gunna- *faints*
How did i even get here? I was watching ww2 combat footage
Great video for most kitties. But I have a crotchety grumpy Russian Blue (are all Russian Blues grouchy?)
who 1. Wouldn’t sit in my lap if his life depended on it 2. Only lets me pan him for 3 seconds before he bites 3. I can’t trim his claws for the above reasons 4. I can touch his head for 3 seconds….
But the video is too cute.
Yo what the hell do i do if my cat is a demon child? There is no way she is letting me do this.
My question, was the cat I’ll or was that just the capsule?
Excellent video.
More please! Kitty liquid medicine!
My cat is not a lap cat lolol
Excellent video Richie – thank you!!
After pilling my cat multiple pills twice a day for over a year now, glad to know I figured out the best way without ever looking up how to 😂🤣😂 even down to the neck rub…
I initially watched this video bc I needed to learn how to get my kitty to take a pill. I find myself returning to it bc Richie is so comforting and encouraging. Does he have other videos?
I thought he said “pet killer”. WTH?
Had to watch this as a refresher. It has been a while since i had to pill lady cat and the last time she spit one out three times. If the pill pockets fail, it will be back to pilling so I am grateful for this video.
I needed you 30 years ago!😱
This was a miss click but I sat down and watched the entire thing… I don’t even have a sick cat
Would never work with my cats
My cat see that tube and wants to claw his life away
Is there a way to block this video from showing up on my feed? I’m literally just trying to watch stand up comedy and it’s kind of the worst video to have continually interrupt. I don’t have a cat, they don’t need people to do just fine, but maybe we can do a video on how to feed pills to cat people and be done with videos like this that keep finding their way into the feed.
Something about this man with this adorable cat is so sexy. Hahaha.
And btw, I just shove the pill into the corner of my cat’s mouth really fast like a sneak attack. Then stroke her throat like in the video. Easy peasy. I was surprised it worked when I tried it.
I’ll be sure to let you know how goes
That looks like my cat Boo Boo who died last week. I miss him. I had to give him liquid bc pills were impossible
Can I hire someone to come to my house and give my Effie her pill? She’s sick so I’ll get her out from under the bed for anyone daring enough to try. I have had only 1 cat in my 66 years who didn’t fight like a tiger to keep me from putting the tiniest pill down their throat regardless how sick.
It’s crucial to follow the pill with liquid or wet food to make sure it doesn’t damage the esophagus by lingering there. Just like with humans but more so because theirs is a lot smaller.
Bullshit! Try this on MY cat and see how it works. Cleaned up way more $128 pills off the floor than went in his belly.
Very helpful. Will try. Thanks!
Step 1 – ain’t happening
Great info, thanks
👍👍👍👍
That looks great but You don’t know my cat. 🤦♀️
This was helpful as my female cat was just spayed. My heart hurts for her.
Aww cute
I just dissolve it in their soft food.
I need to give my cat 1/2 tablet. I don’t have a pet piller. What suggestions do you offer?
You go Winston!
happy birthday to you sylester enjoy your day and catnip
