Asolutely hilarious, Lyn! My daughter bought a cat )kitten) from the local vet earlier this year. From the first day she kept him on a double-length leash, which goes around his upper body and neck. Each morning, when we let him out of his cage (ironically, a small aviary!) we tie him at various vantage points in the yard. He hangs around the two dogs, who mother him. I'm usually the one who holds him at tablet time. Since he thinks he's a dog I might take up your suggestion on how to give a dog a pill!! |
