dosing cat / dozing cat
Her Royal Hiney (icon) needs several medicines, which I distribute through the day. In the morning I begin with the one she accepts most easily, an ointment that I squeeze onto a disposable glove and rub into the inside of her ear flap. After that, in increasing order of difficulty, there's a liquid I have to squirt into her mouth from an oral syringe, and a tiny (quarter of!) a pill that calls for a "pill popper" with a handle about 10" long.
When I tried to give her the liquid just now she fought hard, and clawed me as she got away (it bled a bit before closing up), and in pain and startled rage I yelled "Bitch!", probably the worst insult I could call her-- if she understood it! She's dozing on the floor now; I'll try again soon.
