    Unfortunately, the ONLY food he will eat is his dry cat food...weird, I know. He won't eat people food, or wet cat food. My DH cut the doxy treat into smaller pieces and mixed it into his bowl with his normal dry food. He eats one piece at a time, and when he got a piece of that doxy treat into his mouth, he immediately detected that it tasted different and spit it right out. He actually spit it OUTSIDE of his bowl, so that he would know not to eat it again. He's a clever one.

    I had a cat who wouldn't eat wet food or people food. She would however, eat baby food. Maybe worth a try?
    I just went through 6 weeks of pure hell giving pills to my new (old) dog, who is limited in the foods she's allowed, and seemed to have caught on to every trick within a day or so. Pure hell, I tell you!
    Good luck!

    We have 1 cat with allergies (although her's are mostly in the form of bumps around her head and throat area). She usually doesn't need anything and when it start bothering her, she gets a non water bath thing that works well for her. Of course you must have two people to do it. If we have to give her a pill it is also a 2 person job. One person picks her up and hands her to the other person holding a towel and wraps cat in said towel. Then 1st person gets pill in hand, opens cat's mouth, puts pill in mouth, holds mouth closed and rubs (very lightly) cat's neck to make her swallow. This is litterally the ONLY way to get this cat to take a pill. Nothing else works at all. Oh and she is a tortishell. Good luck.
