She will hide knowing she is getting meds and stuff. Makes it hard knowing if she does have a problem that giving her anything is near impossible. Even flea stuff I have to sneak up on her when she is dead asleep and put it on her then she hides for a whole day. Once we had to give her antibiotics and she would spit them out or hide to where I could not find her and would miss doses. I can not hide it in her food either doesn't work. If she was only like my other two....clueless. It is a hard situation.
I should note that she is not hyper which I know is a symptom of a hyper thyroid condition. We had an older cat with it once. She was easy to treat though and lived another 5 years.
Our Lola is not hyper, either. Our vet had asked that...she's never been overly active.

Pill Pockets are amazing. They don't work well for bitter-tasting meds, but I think the thyroid pills must be kind of tasteless, like most hormone pills. She sits by the drawer where we keep her meds and demands them. She thinks she's getting a meaty-flavored treat.
