Thanks for your responses, Laura & Cheryl. I’ve mostly had cats — would miss it if one wasn’t around.

Hey, Enric, this was really nice to see. I have to give my cat thyroid meds twice a day with one of those mini-syringe things. I found it works better to put her up high, like on a table or counter top. I can pin her to my side with my arm and use that hand to open her mouth, and the free hand holds the syringe. It ends up being over with much sooner for some reason. Different techniques with every cat I suppose. Irene is so funny and positive. I hope her fundraiser goes well. I wish I could attend.

Thanks, Kent; interesting perspective. That may have to do with being in someone’s personal space and the action that becomes available there.

Wow. Sergeant certainly didn’t like those meds too much.
Bravo to Irene for the patience to do that every day. Looks like they’ve both been through quite a trauma.
How long does she have to go through this routine?

I also had the meta thought that you were shooting this video in the style of a Reality TV vlog. heh.
I don’t remember seeing videos like this from you before.
Nice to see the vbw07 pushing some boundaries.

Wow...

Just watching her give Sergeant Johnson that pill and medicine is such a familiar act for anyone who has had a sick cat.
