Lap? Are you kidding? LOL! Our cat is very strong, and really, REALLY
hates taking pills. I have to grab him, place one knee on each side of him
to hold him down, then cross my ankles so he can't back out. Then I follow
Jill's instructions. Works great, but he can sense when I have a pill for
him, and Poof! He's gone.
