Cats are so very hard to give medicine to. I am afraid that I do not have any other advice.

Cats are way too clever for the likes of us, methinks! Is there anything he doesn't get regularly but really loves -like sardines? A really small amount might make it easier for you to judge if he's eaten what he's meant to. A towel to at least cover some of his arsenal of weapons? I wish you luck. He should think himself fortunate to have an owner who cares enough to worm him :)

My daughters cat Samantha also disliked taking worm tablets we used the syringe paste one but put it on her front legs.. she had to lick it to get it off try this again but maybe in two or three sessions if he's particularly grumpy.. Good luck

Been there and worn the now shredded tshirt. Worming cats is fun, I remember after the battle of putting g 4 lots of tablets down throats there would always be a tablet on the carpet and one was left wondering who had spat their tablet out. We - my husband and self work as a team, he cuddles a very well wrapped up cat and we open its mouth and flick the tablet down a open cat mouth. The mouth is then closed and the throat rubbed, the cat is released when the cat has swallowed and given a lovely meal. I have gone as far as injecting the cat and there is the stuff to put on the back of the neck like the flea treatment. You have reminded me that my cat needs doing. Have fu and left us know what works best for you.

When we give meds-pills, we do as already described--open mouth, push pill as far in as possible, hold mouth closed...BUT we blow on his nose and watch for the "swallow". It works for some reason.

My little Tidgy Girl used to always froth at the mouth after having paste wormers and it upset me no end to see her so distressed, so when Bayer developed PROFENDER SPOT-ON cat allwormer, it was a no brainer, she was never going to suffer worming again.

The product is available in Australia, but I am sure you should be able to get it in the States, if not you could buy it online from Ebay vet supplies. I can and do highly recommend it because of its application: you just 'spot-on' the back of the neck the same as you do for flea treatments.

It is not the cheapest worm treatment but it sure has made life easier for my fur babies, not to mention removing ALL the hassle previously associated with administering regular worm treatment, so for me, it is well worth the cost. Hope this helps. hugs n roses. Meganne

Pills are the easiest because cats to not have the back up reflex that dogs have. Put in the back of their mouth and push it down by rubbing their neck the direction you want the pill to go. It works great!

Well, cats are so adorable clever and as you say "well armed" but
since I use the "Spot on" - method as described by Meganne it is easy to de-worm the cat "Beast" :-)
Good luck for you! Maria

Wrap him snugly in a towel and squeeze the paste in his mouth then hold it shut - gently but firmly so that he doesn't spit it out.
I have found this the best way to worm our girls.
The towel inhibits those dangerous things called claws.
Oh, you need 2 people to attack one cat, too.
One holds the towel be-robed feline while the other holds the head and manoeuvres the syringe to the mouth.
Happy worming.

I see that it has been many days since you posted your question. I would love to see how your gadget turns out and if it works. I have not had to worm a pet before. The closest I came was having a cat that drank antifreeze, and had liver failure due to that. We would roll her up in a big bath towel and stuff her pill down and then, before unwrapping her, follow that with a piece of bleu cheese or something fragrant and delicious that helped take the edge off. I hope that you are able to come up with a good solution that helps your kitty continue to love you and not be constantly suspicious. :)
