As an owner of three cats, be assured that #6 2nd sentence "Ignore low growls"  is absolutely incorrect. Have the scars to prove it.  Otherwise LMBO

LOL,

I don't have cat's or dogs, but this story proves to me that cat lovers have more patience, and dog lovers have more fun. ;D

I guess I would gave the cat all the booze and then the pill part would be easy ;)

I agree true, very true. My daughter is a Office Manager at a veterinary clinic and going to school to be a VET, so she comes by and gives the medicine when they need it.  ;)
