Note: trim claws before time for the evening round.
Always a good idea.
I tried the towel trick with Linnet (orange cat in icon) once. Or, rather, I tried to try the towel trick with Linnet once. Linnet does not wrap in a towel well. What I do is back him in a corner, kneel in front of him, put his front paws between my (sturdily jeaned) knees, pry his mouth open with one hand and squirt the med from the syringe down his little throat with the other.
Morgan (white cat in icon) sees me coming with meds, does the catly version of a shrug, and opens his mouth. And to think I used to think that cat wasn't very smart...
