Have you ever noticed how inept some humans are at administering medication to their pets?
Take my two servants, for example. I recently had to take a week's course of antibiotics after a horrid tom cat gave me a nasty bite. It took both of them all their combined efforts to prise open my jaws and ram the tablet unceremoniously down my throat. You'd think I was some untamed beast they way they were carrying on.
Anyhow, there was no way I was going to swallow it, so I hid it in my cheek and spat it out surreptitiously when they weren't looking. (Smirk.)
It's even funnier when I have to take medicine. I remember some bright orange stuff which they had to syringe into my mouth. It didn't taste too bad but I felt I had to put up a twice-daily struggle. Why make it easy for them?
My favourite trick was to fool them into thinking the syringe was safely in my mouth then, at the last second, I'd jerk my head to one side, resulting in bright orange liquid squirting all over Mr Servant's nice white work shirt. Hee hee.
