NO, trying to force feed it to him by opening his jaw...GOOD LUCK, only the most skilled vet at our vet's office can get our cat to do that, out of the 4 vets that work there
YES...I was much more sinister and refined in my method.  I bought some roastbeef and rubbed it all over the pill then tore apart the thin slices of roast beef and broke the pill in half and put it into the roast beef pieces and MIRACLE:  He ATE IT!!!  Beats any amount of excercise for today
:-)

Updates...

My iPhone brick'd... Apple replaced, which was very nice!

Much been going on:

-Shot IPSC the other night and ran the match

-Spent the weekend working outside since the weather here in the suck-midwest is very nice!

-Been boxing regularly and started getting in the ring a little more...

-Been eating the usual low-carb, high-meat diet with much vegetables and fruit!

-I still love cofffaaayy!!


The big new thing is the link that is now on the side of the blog - "MyBrainTrainer" it's a set of neat-o mental exercises that help sharpen focus, memory, problem solving, etc... Very neat stuff indeed!
